Using the Examples in This Manual

If you want to use the examples in this manual, you can use the load merge or the load
merge relative command. These commands cause the software to merge the incoming
xv
configuration into the current candidate configuration. The example does not become
active until you commit the candidate configuration.
If the example configuration contains the top level of the hierarchy (or multiple
hierarchies), the example is a full example. In this case, use the load merge command.
If the example configuration does not start at the top level of the hierarchy, the example
is a snippet. In this case, use the load merge relative command. These procedures are
described in the following sections.
Merging a Full Example

To merge a full example, follow these steps:
1.
From the HTML or PDF version of the manual, copy a configuration example into a
text file, save the file with a name, and copy the file to a directory on your routing
platform.
For example, copy the following configuration to a file and name the file ex-script.conf.
Copy the ex-script.conf file to the /var/tmp directory on your routing platform.
system {
scripts {
commit {
file ex-script.xsl;
}
}
}
interfaces {
fxp0 {
disable;
unit 0 {
family inet {
address 10.0.0.1/24;
}
}
}
}
2. Merge the contents of the file into your routing platform configuration by issuing the
load merge configuration mode command:

[edit]
user@host# load merge /var/tmp/ex-script.conf
load complete
Merging a Snippet
To merge a snippet, follow these steps:
1.
From the HTML or PDF version of the manual, copy a configuration snippet into a text
file, save the file with a name, and copy the file to a directory on your routing platform.
For example, copy the following snippet to a file and name the file
ex-script-snippet.conf. Copy the ex-script-snippet.conf file to the /var/tmp directory
on your routing platform.
xvi
commit {
file ex-script-snippet.xsl; }
2. Move to the hierarchy level that is relevant for this snippet by issuing the following
configuration mode command:

[edit]
user@host# edit system scripts
[edit system scripts]
3. Merge the contents of the file into your routing platform configuration by issuing the
load merge relative configuration mode command:

[edit system scripts]
user@host# load merge relative /var/tmp/ex-script-snippet.conf
load complete
For more information about the load command, see the CLI User Guide.

IS-IS Overview
The IS-IS protocol is an interior gateway protocol (IGP) that uses link-state information
to make routing decisions.
IS-IS is a link-state IGP that uses the shortest-path-first (SPF) algorithm to determine
routes. IS-IS evaluates the topology changes and determines whether to perform a full
SPF recalculation or a partial route calculation (PRC). This protocol originally was
developed for routing International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Connectionless
Network Protocol (CLNP) packets.
Like OSPF routing, IS-IS uses hello packets that allow network convergence to occur
quickly when network changes are detected. IS-IS uses the SPF algorithm to determine
routes. Using SPF, IS-IS evaluates network topology changes and determines if a full or
partial route calculation is required.
NOTE: Because IS-IS uses ISO addresses, the configuration of IP version 6

(IPv6) and IP version 4 (IPv4) implementations of IS-IS is identical.
NOTE: See Platforms/FPCs That Cannot Forward TCC Encapsulated ISO

Traffic to find a list of those devices and FPC configurations that cannot pass
ISO traffic when encapsulated in TCC format.

IS-IS Terminology
An IS-IS network is a single autonomous system (AS), also called a routing domain, that
consists of end systems and intermediate systems. End systems are network entities that
send and receive packets. Intermediate systems send and receive packets and relay
(forward) packets. (Intermediate system is the Open System Interconnection [OSI] term
for a router.) ISO packets are called network PDUs.
In IS-IS, a single AS can be divided into smaller groups called areas. Routing between
areas is organized hierarchically, allowing a domain to be administratively divided into
smaller areas. This organization is accomplished by configuring Level 1 and Level 2
intermediate systems. Level 1 systems route within an area; when the destination is
outside an area, they route toward a Level 2 system. Level 2 intermediate systems route
between areas and toward other ASs. No IS-IS area functions strictly as a backbone.
Level 1 routers share intra-area routing information, and Level 2 routers share interarea
information about IP addresses available within each area. Uniquely, IS-IS routers can
act as both Level 1 and Level 2 routers, sharing intra-area routes with other Level 1 routers
and interarea routes with other Level 2 routers.
The propagation of link-state updates is determined by the level boundaries. All routers
within a level maintain a complete link-state database of all other routers in the same
level. Each router then uses the Dijkstra algorithm to determine the shortest path from
the local router to other routers in the link-state database.
ISO Network Addresses

IS-IS uses ISO network addresses. Each address identifies a point of connection to the
network, such as a router interface, and is called a network service access point (NSAP).
IS-IS supports multiple NSAP addresses on the loopback lo0 interface.
An end system can have multiple NSAP addresses, in which case the addresses differ
only by the last byte (called the n-selector). Each NSAP represents a service that is
available at that node. In addition to having multiple services, a single node can belong
to multiple areas.
Each network entity also has a special network address called a network entity title (NET).
Structurally, an NET is identical to an NSAP address but has an n-selector of 00. Most
end systems and intermediate systems have one NET. Intermediate systems that
participate in multiple areas can have multiple NETs.
The following ISO addresses illustrate the IS-IS address format:
49.0001.00a0.c96b.c490.00
49.0001.2081.9716.9018.00
NETs take several forms, depending on your network requirements. NET addresses are
hexadecimal and range from 8 octets to 20 octets in length. Generally, the format consists
Chapter 1: Introduction to IS-IS
of an authority and format Identifier (AFI), a domain ID, an area ID, a system identifier,
and a selector. The simplest format omits the domain ID and is 10 octets long. For
example, the NET address 49.0001.1921.6800.1001.00 consists of the following parts:
49AFI
0001Area ID
1921.6800.1001System identifier
00Selector
The system identifier must be unique within the network. For an IP-only network, we
recommend using the IP address of an interface on the router. Configuring a loopback
NET address with the IP address is helpful when troubleshooting is required on the
network.
The first portion of the address is the area number, which is a variable number from 1
through 13 bytes. The first byte of the area number (49) is the authority and format
indicator (AFI). The next bytes are the assigned domain (area) identifier, which can be
from 0 through 12 bytes. In the examples above, the area identifier is 0001.
The next six bytes form the system identifier. The system identifier can be any six bytes
that are unique throughout the entire domain. The system identifier commonly is the
media access control (MAC) address (as in the first example, 00a0.c96b.c490) or the
IP address expressed in binary-coded decimal (BCD) (as in the second example,
2081.9716.9018, which corresponds to IP address 208.197.169.18). The last byte (00) is
the n-selector.
NOTE: The system identifier cannot be 0000.0000.0000. All 0s is an illegal

setting, and the adjacency is not formed with this setting.
To provide help with IS-IS debugging, the Junos operating system (Junos OS) supports
dynamic mapping of ISO system identifiers to the hostname. Each system can be
configured with a hostname, which allows the system identifier-to-hostname mapping
to be carried in a dynamic hostname type, length, and value (TLV) tuple in IS-IS link-state
PDUs. This enables intermediate systems in the routing domain to learn about the ISO
system identifier of a particular intermediate system.
IS-IS Packets
Each IS-IS PDU shares a common header. IS-IS uses the following PDUs to exchange
protocol information:
IS-IS hello (IIH) PDUsBroadcast to discover the identity of neighboring IS-IS systems
and to determine whether the neighbors are Level 1 or Level 2 intermediate systems.
IS-IS hello PDUs establish adjacencies with other routers and have three different
formats: one for point-to-point hello packets, one for Level 1 broadcast links, and one
for Level 2 broadcast links. Level 1 routers must share the same area address to form
an adjacency, while Level 2 routers do not have this limitation. The request for adjacency
is encoded in the Circuit type field of the PDU.
Hello PDUs have a preset length assigned to them. The IS-IS router does not resize
any PDU to match the maximum transmission unit (MTU) on a router interface. Each
interface supports the maximum IS-IS PDU of 1492 bytes, and hello PDUs are padded
to meet the maximum value. When the hello is sent to a neighboring router, the
connecting interface supports the maximum PDU size.
Link-state PDUsContain information about the state of adjacencies to neighboring

IS-IS systems. Link-state PDUs are flooded periodically throughout an area.
Also included is metric and IS-IS neighbor information. Each link-state PDU must be
refreshed periodically on the network and is acknowledged by information within a
sequence number PDU.
On point-to-point links, each link-state PDU is acknowledged by a partial sequence
number PDU (PSNP), but on broadcast links, a complete sequence number PDU
(CSNP) is sent out over the network. Any router that finds newer link-state PDU
information in the CSNP then purges the out-of-date entry and updates the link-state
database.
Link-state PDUs support variable-length subnet mask addressing.
Complete sequence number PDUs (CSNPs)Contain a complete list of all link-state

PDUs in the IS-IS database. CSNPs are sent periodically on all links, and the receiving
systems use the information in the CSNP to update and synchronize their link-state
PDU databases. The designated router multicasts CSNPs on broadcast links in place
of sending explicit acknowledgments for each link-state PDU.
Contained within the CSNP is a link-state PDU identifier, a lifetime, a sequence number,
and a checksum for each entry in the database. Periodically, a CSNP is sent on both
broadcast and point-to-point links to maintain a correct database. Also, the
advertisement of CSNPs occurs when an adjacency is formed with another router. Like
IS-IS hello PDUs, CSNPs come in two types: Level 1 and Level 2.
When a device receives a CSNP, it checks the database entries against its own local
link-state database. If it detects missing information, the device requests specific
link-state PDU details using a partial sequence number PDU (PSNP).
Partial sequence number PDUs (PSNPs)Sent multicast by a receiver when it detects

that it is missing a link-state PDU (when its link-state PDU database is out of date).
The receiver sends a PSNP to the system that transmitted the CSNP, effectively
requesting that the missing link-state PDU be transmitted. That routing device, in turn,
forwards the missing link-state PDU to the requesting routing device.
A PSNP is used by an IS-IS router to request link-state PDU information from a
neighboring router. A PSNP can also explicitly acknowledge the receipt of a link-state
PDU on a point-to-point link. On a broadcast link, a CSNP is used as implicit knowledge.
Like hello PDUs and CSNPs, the PSNP also has two types: Level 1 and Level 2.
When a device compares a CSNP to its local database and determines that a link-state
PDU is missing, the router issues a PSNP for the missing link-state PDU, which is returned
in a link-state PDU from the router sending the CSNP. The received link-state PDU is
then stored in the local database, and an acknowledgment is sent back to the originating
router.
Persistent Route Reachability

IPv4 and IPv6 route reachability information in IS-IS link-state PDUs is preserved when
you commit a configuration. IP prefixes are preserved with their original packet fragment
upon link-state PDU regeneration.
IS-IS Support for Multipoint Network Clouds

IS-IS does not support multipoint configurations. Therefore, when configuring Frame
Relay or Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks, you must configure them as
collections of point-to-point links, not as multipoint clouds.
Installing a Default Route to the Nearest Routing Device That Operates at Both IS-IS Levels
When a routing device that operates as both a Level 1 and Level 2 router (Router B)
determines that it can reach at least one area other than its own (for example, in Area
Y), it sets the ATTACHED bit in its Level 1 link-state PDU. Thereafter, the Level 1 router
(Router A) introduces a default route pointing to the nearest attached routing device
that operates as both a Level 1 and Level 2 router (Router B). See Figure 1 on page 7.

Understanding IS-IS Configuration

To configure IS-IS, you must enable IS-IS on the interfaces and configure a NET address
on one of the device interfaces (preferably, the lo0 interface) by setting family iso address
net-address on the interface. To create the NET address (also known as the system ID
or the NSAP address), you can use the convention that is dictated by your network design,
or you can follow this convention:
1.
Take the router ID, remove the dots (.), and insert leading zeroes where necessary so
that the string is 12 characters long.
For example, if the router ID is 192.168.0.4, the 12-character string would be
192168000004. If the router ID is 10.12.23.1, the 12-character string would be
010012023001.
2. Add a dot after every 4th character.
The strings would become 1921.6800.0004 and 0100.1202.3001.

3. Prepend the area number.
If the routing devices are in area 47, the strings would become 47.1921.6800.0004
and 47.0100.1202.3001.
4. Append the selector (00).
The strings would become 47.1921.6800.0004.00 and 47.0100.1202.3001.00.
13
You must configure the ISO family on all interfaces that are supporting the IS-IS protocol
by setting family iso on the interface. This means that IS-IS related frames are not
discarded by the routing devices.
You must enable IS-IS to run on the interfaces by setting interface interface-name in the
protocol configuration. This means that the interfaces are advertised into IS-IS.
Unlike OSPF, when you enable IS-IS on the lo0 interface, you do not need to explicitly
set passive mode. Passive mode means that the interface is advertised into the link-state
protocol, but the interface does not send or receive protocol control packets, such as
IS-IS hello and link-state PDUs. In IS-IS, the lo0 interface is always passive.
When you enable IS-IS on an interface, both levels (Level 1 and Level 2) are enabled by
default. To specify that an interface is on a Level 1 link, disable Level 2. To specify that
an interface is on a Level 2 link, disable Level 1. You can disable a level on the entire device
or per-interface. If two routing devices, R1 and R2, are both in the same IS-IS area, they
communicate at Level 1 if one or both devices have Level 2 disabled.
For security devices only, you must enable IS-IS by setting mode packet-based at the
[edit security forwarding-options family iso] hierarchy level.

Understanding IS-IS Areas to Divide an Autonomous System into Smaller Groups

In IS-IS, a single AS can be divided into smaller groups called areas.
Link-state protocols cannot scale well if a large autonomous system (AS) consists of a
single set of routing devices that all share a common database to compute the best
paths through the AS. Because the shortest-path-first (SPF) algorithm works in an
exponential fashion, the CPU demand can become too heavy when too many routing
devices share their complete routing information with each other. To alleviate this issue,
large ASs are divided into smaller parts called areas.
When ASs are split into areas, the disjointed areas must be connected to route traffic
between the areas. Reachability information at the area borders must be injected into
each other areas.
19
In IS-IS, routing between areas is organized hierarchically. This organization is

accomplished by configuring Level 1 and Level 2 intermediate systems. Level 1 systems
route within an area. When the destination is outside an area, Level 1 systems route
toward a Level 2 system. Level 2 intermediate systems route between areas and toward
other ASs. No IS-IS area functions strictly as a backbone.
Level 1 routers share intra-area routing information, and Level 2 routers share interarea
information about IP addresses available within each area. Uniquely, IS-IS routers can
act as both Level 1 and Level 2 routers, sharing intra-area routes with other Level 1 routers
and interarea routes with other Level 2 routers.
The propagation of link-state updates is determined by the level boundaries. All routers
within a level maintain a complete link-state database of all other routers in the same
level. Each router then uses the Dijkstra algorithm to determine the shortest path from
the local router to other routers in the link-state database.

This example shows how to configure a multi-level IS-IS topology.
Overview on page 20
Requirements
example.
Overview
Like OSPF, the IS-IS protocol supports the partitioning of a routing domain into multiple
areas with levels that control interarea flooding. The use of multiple levels improves
protocol scalability, as Level 2 (backbone) link-state PDUs are normally not flooded into
a Level 1 area.
An IS-IS Level 2 area is analogous to the OSPF backbone area (0), while a Level 1 area
operates much like an OSPF totally stubby area, in that a default route is normally used
to reach both inter-level and AS external routes.
Unlike OSPF, IS-IS area boundaries occur between routers, such that a given routing
device is always wholly contained within a particular area. Level 1 adjacencies can be
formed between routers that share a common area number, while a Level 2 adjacency
can be formed between routers that might or might not share an area number.

CLI Quick Configuration on page 21 shows the configuration for all of the devices in

This example has the following characteristics:
Device R5 functions as a Level 1/Level 2 router to interconnect the Level 2 backbone

area 49.001 and the Level 1 area 49.002 containing Device R6 and Device R7.
The system ID is based on the devices IPv4 lo0 addresses.
Loss of any individual interface does not totally disrupt the IS-IS operation.
The IPv4 lo0 addresses of all routers are reachable through IS-IS.
The link between Device R3 and Device S1 appears in area 49.001 as an intra-area
route. No IS-IS adjacencies can be established on this interface. This is accomplished
by configuring the passive statement on Device R3s interface to Device S1.
The loopback addresses of Level 2 devices do not appear in a Level 1 area.
There is only one adjacency for each device pairing.

Step-by-Step
Procedure

To configure multi-level IS-IS:
1.
Configure the network interfaces.

Enable IS-IS on the interfaces by Including the ISO address family on each interface.
[edit interfaces]
user@R5# set fe-1/2/0 unit 0 description to-R3
user@R5# set fe-1/2/0 unit 0 family inet address 10.0.0.22/30
user@R5# set fe-1/2/0 unit 0 family iso
2.
Configure two loopback interface addresses.

One address is for IPv4.
The other is for the IS-IS area 49.002 so that Device R5 can form adjacencies with
the other Level 1 devices in area 49.002. Even though Device R5s NET identifies
itself as belonging to the Level 1 area 49.002, its loopback interface is not configured
as a Level 1 interface. Doing so would cause the route to Device R5s loopback to
be injected into the Level 1 area.
3.
Specify the IS-IS level on a per-interface basis.

Device R5 becomes adjacent to the other routing devices on the same level on each
link.
By default, IS-IS is enabled for IS-IS areas on all interfaces on which the ISO protocol
family is enabled (at the [edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number]
23
hierarchy level). To disable IS-IS at any particular level on an interface, include the
disable statement.
Device R5s loopback interface is configured to run Level 2 only. If Level 1 operation
were enabled on lo0.0, Device R5 would include its loopback address in its Level 1
link-state PDU, which is incorrect for this example in which the loopback addresses
of Level 2 devices must not appear in a Level 1 area.
Unlike OSPF, you must explicitly list the routers lo0 interface at the [edit protocols
isis] hierarchy level, because this interface is the source of the routers NET, and
therefore must be configured as an IS-IS interface. In IS-IS, the lo0 interface operates
in the passive mode by default, which is ideal because adjacency formation can
never occur on a virtual interface.
user@R5# set interface fe-1/2/0.0 level 1 disable
user@R5# set interface lo0.0 level 1 disable
Results
From configuration mode, confirm your configuration by entering the show interfaces and
show protocols commands. If the output does not display the intended configuration,
repeat the instructions in this example to correct the configuration.

Meaning
This display indicates that Device R5s loopback interface is correctly configured to run
Level 2 only. Had Level 1 operation been enabled on lo0.0, Device R5 would have then
included its loopback address in its Level 1 link-state PDU.
You can also see that Device R5 has Level 2 link-state PDUs, received from its adjacent
neighbors.
Like an OSPF totally stubby area, no backbone (Level 2) or external prefixes are leaked
into a Level 1 area, by default. Level 1 prefixes are leaked up into the IS-IS backbone,
however, as can be seen in Device R5s Level 2 link-state PDU.

Understanding IS-IS Designated Routers

A router advertises its priority to become a designated router in its hello packets. On all
multiaccess networks (physical networks that support the attachment of more than two
routers, such as Ethernet networks), IS-IS uses the advertised priorities to elect a
designated router for the network. This router is responsible for sending network link-state
advertisements, which describe all the routers attached to the network. These
advertisements are flooded throughout a single area. The priority value is meaningful
only on a multiaccess network. It has no meaning on a point-to-point interface.
A routers priority for becoming the designated router is indicated by an arbitrary number
from 0 through 127, which you configure on the IS-IS interface. The router with the highest
priority becomes the designated router for the area (Level 1, Level 2, or both), also
configured on the IS-IS interface. If routers in the network have the same priority, then
28
the router with the highest MAC address is elected as the designated router. By default,
routers have a priority value of 64.

Documentation
Configuring Designated Router Election Priority for IS-IS

This example shows how to configure the designated router election priority for IS-IS.
Before you begin:
Configure network interfaces. See the Junos OS Interfaces Configuration Guide for
Security Devices.
Enable IS-IS on the interfaces. See Example: Configuring IS-IS on page 14.
In this example, you configure the priority for logical interface ge-0/0/1.0 to be 100 and
the level number to be 1. If this interface has the highest priority value, the router becomes
the designated router for the Level 1 area.
To configure a designated router election priority for IS-IS:

user@host# set protocols isis interface ge-0/0/1.0 level 1 priority 100

Documentation
Configuring an ISO System Identifier for the Router

For IS-IS to operate on the router, you can optionally configure a system identifier (system
ID). The system identifier is commonly the media access control (MAC) address or the
IP address expressed in binary-coded decimal (BCD).
If you do not statically map the hostname, the mapping is generated dynamically, based
on the system host-name. If you omit the static-host-mapping hostname sysid statement,
the IS-IS system ID is dynamically generated from the host portion of the ISO address
configured on the loopback interface (lo0) and is mapped to the host-name statement
configured at the [edit system] hierarchy level. Run the show isis hostname command to
view the mappings.
To configure an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) system ID, include
the sysid statement at the [edit system static-host-mapping hostname] hierarchy level:
[edit system]
static-host-mapping {
hostname {
sysid system-identifier;
}
29
}
hostname is the name specified by the host-name statement at the [edit system] hierarchy
level.
system-identifier is the ISO system identifier. It is the 6-byte system ID portion of the IS-IS
network service access point (NSAP). We recommend that you use the hosts IP address
represented in BCD format. For example, the IP address 192.168.1.77 is 1921.6800.1077 in
BCD.

Configuring IS-IS Authentication

All IS-IS protocol exchanges can be authenticated to guarantee that only trusted routing
devices participate in the autonomous system (AS) routing. By default, IS-IS
authentication is disabled on the routing device.
To configure IS-IS authentication, you must define an authentication password and
specify the authentication type.
You can configure one of the following authentication methods:
Simple authenticationUses a text password that is included in the transmitted packet.

The receiving routing device uses an authentication key (password) to verify the packet.
Simple authentication is included for compatibility with existing IS-IS implementations.
However, we recommend that you do not use this authentication method because it
is insecure (the text can be sniffed).
CAUTION: A simple password that exceeds 254 characters is truncated.
HMAC-MD5 authenticationUses an iterated cryptographic hash function. The receiving

routing device uses an authentication key (password) to verify the packet.
You can also configure more fine-grained interface-level authentication for hello packets.
To enable authentication and specify an authentication method, include the
authentication-type statement, specifying the simple or md5 authentication type:
31
authentication-type authentication;
For a list of hierarchy levels at which you can include this statement, see the statement
summary section for this statement.
To configure a password, include the authentication-key statement. The authentication
password for all routing devices in a domain must be the same.
authentication-key key;
To configure hitless authentication key rollover, include the authentication-key-chain
(Protocols IS-IS) statement.
The password can contain up to 255 characters. If you include spaces, enclose all
characters in quotation marks ( ).
If you are using the Junos OS IS-IS software with another implementation of IS-IS, the
other implementation must be configured to use the same password for the domain, the
area, and all interfaces that are shared with a Junos OS implementation.
Authentication of hello packets, partial sequence number PDU (PSNP), and complete
sequence number PDU (CSNP) can be suppressed to enable interoperability with the
routing software of different vendors. Different vendors handle authentication in various
ways, and suppressing authentication for different PDU types might be the simplest way
to allow compatibility within the same network.
To configure IS-IS to generate authenticated packets, but not to check the authentication
on received packets, include the no-authentication-check statement:
no-authentication-check;
To suppress authentication of IS-IS hello packets, include the no-hello-authentication

statement:
no-hello-authentication;
To suppress authentication of PSNPs, include the no-psnp-authentication statement:

no-psnp-authentication;
To suppress authentication of CSNPs, include the no-csnp-authentication statement:

no-csnp-authentication;
For a list of hierarchy levels at which you can include these statements, see the statement
summary sections for these statements.
NOTE: The authentication and the no-authentication statements must be

configured at the same hierarchy level. Configuring authentication at the [edit
protocols isis interface interface-name] hierarchy level and configuring
no-authentication at the [edit protocols isis] hierarchy level has no effect.

Understanding Hitless Authentication Key Rollover for IS-IS

IS-IS protocol exchanges can be authenticated to guarantee that only trusted routing
devices participate in routing. By default, authentication is disabled. The authentication
algorithm creates an encoded checksum that is included in the transmitted packet. The
receiving routing device uses an authentication key (password) to verify the packets
checksum.
If you configure authentication for all peers, each peer in that group inherits the groups
authentication.
You can update authentication keys without resetting any IS-IS neighbor sessions. This
is referred to as hitless authentication key rollover.
Hitless authentication key rollover uses authentication keychains, which consist of the
authentication keys that are being updated. The keychain includes multiple keys. Each
key in the keychain has a unique start time. At the next keys start time, a rollover occurs
from the current key to the next key, and the next key becomes the current key.
You can choose the algorithm through which authentication is established. You can
configure MD5 or SHA-1 authentication. You associate a keychain and the authentication
algorithm with an IS-IS neighboring session. Each key contains an identifier and a secret
password.
The sending peer chooses the active key based on the system time and the start times
of the keys in the keychain. The receiving peer determines the key with which it
authenticates based on the incoming key identifier.
You can configure either RFC 5304-based encoding or RFC 5310-based encoding for the
IS-IS protocol transmission encoding format.

Example: Configuring Hitless Authentication Key Rollover for IS-IS

This example shows how to configure hitless authentication key rollover for IS-IS.
Overview on page 34
Requirements
No special configuration beyond device initialization is required before configuring hitless
authentication key rollover for IS-IS.
Overview
Authentication guarantees that only trusted routers participate in routing updates. This
keychain authentication method is referred to as hitless because the keys roll over from
one to the next without resetting any peering sessions or interrupting the routing protocol.
Junos OS supports both RFC 5304, IS-IS Cryptographic Authentication and RFC 5310,
IS-IS Generic Cryptographic Authentication.
This example includes the following statements for configuring the keychain:
algorithmFor each key in the keychain, you can specify an encryption algorithm. The
algorithm can be SHA-1 or MD-5.
keyA keychain can have multiple keys. Each key within a keychain must be identified
by a unique integer value. The range of valid identifier values is from 0 through 63.
key-chainFor each keychain, you must specify a name. This example defines two
keychains: base-key-global and base-key-inter.
optionsFor each key in the keychain, you can specify the encoding for the message
authentication code:isis-enhanced or basic. The basic (RFC 5304) operation is enabled

by default.
When you configure the isis-enhanced option, Junos OS sends RFC 5310-encoded
routing protocol packets and accepts both RFC 5304-encoded and RFC 5310-encoded
routing protocol packets that are received from other devices.
When you configure basic (or do not include the options statement in the key
configuration), Junos OS sends and receives RFC 5304-encoded routing protocols
packets, and drops 5310-encoded routing protocol packets that are received from
other devices.
Because this setting is for IS-IS only, the TCP and the BFD protocols ignore the encoding
option configured in the key.
34
secretFor each key in the keychain, you must set a secret password. This password
can be entered in either encrypted or plain text format in the secret statement. It is
always displayed in encrypted format.
start-timeEach key must specify a start time in UTC format. Control gets passed
from one key to the next. When a configured start time arrives (based on the routing
devices clock), the key with that start time becomes active. Start times are specified
in the local time zone for a routing device and must be unique within the key chain.
You can apply a keychain globally to all interfaces or more granularly to specific interfaces.
This example includes the following statements for applying the keychain to all interfaces
or to particular interfaces:
authentication-key-chainEnables you to apply a keychain at the global IS-IS level for
all Level 1 or all Level 2 interfaces.
hello-authentication-key-chainEnables you to apply a keychain at the individual IS-IS
interface level. The interface configuration overrides the global configuration.

Understanding Checksums on IS-IS Interfaces for Error Checking

The checksum enables IS-IS to check at the receiver if the IS-IS protocol frames have
become corrupted while traversing the network.
Sometimes corrupt IS-IS protocol frames can go undetected. If routing control traffic
becomes corrupted, it is likely that user payload traffic might be corrupted, too. This can
lead to unacceptable throughput. To prevent corrupt frames from going undetected, we
recommend enabling checksumming on the IS-IS interfaces.
To review, IS-IS hello (IIH) PDUs establish adjacencies with other routing devices. A
partial sequence number PDU (PSNP) is used by an IS-IS router to request link-state
PDU information from a neighboring router. The complete sequence number PDU (CSNP)
lists all the link-state PDUs in the link-state database.
The original specification for IS-IS does not provide checksums for IIHs, CSNPs, and
PSNPs.
38
RFC 3358, Optional Checksums in Intermediate System to Intermediate System (ISIS)

introduced an optional type, length, and value (TLV) tuple that provides checksums for
IIHs, PSNPs, and CSNPs.
Junos OS supports the checksumming TLV on a per-interface basis.

Documentation

This example shows how to enable packet checksums for IS-IS interfaces.
Overview on page 39
Requirements
Before you begin, configure IS-IS on both routers. See Example: Configuring IS-IS on
page 14 for information about the sample IS-IS configuration.
Overview
Junos OS supports IS-IS checksums as documented in RFC 3358, Optional Checksums
in Intermediate System to Intermediate System (ISIS).
IS-IS protocol data units (PDUs) include link-state PDUs, complete sequence number
PDUs (CSNPs), partial sequence number PDUs (PSNPs), and IS-IS hello (IIH) packets.
These PDUs can be corrupt due to faulty implementations of Layer 2 hardware or lack
of checksums on a specific network technology. Corruption of length or type, length, and
value (TLV) fields can lead to the generation of extensive numbers of empty link-state
PDUs in the receiving node. Because authentication is not a replacement for a checksum
mechanism, you might want to enable the optional checksum TLV on your IS-IS interfaces.
The checksum cannot be enabled with MD5 hello authentication on the same interface.

Understanding Routing Policies

For some routing platform vendors, the flow of routes occurs between various protocols.
If, for example, you want to configure redistribution from RIP to OSPF, the RIP process
tells the OSPF process that it has routes that might be included for redistribution. In Junos
OS, there is not much direct interaction between the routing protocols. Instead, there are
central gathering points where all protocols install their routing information. These are
the main unicast routing tables inet.0 and inet6.0.
From these tables, the routing protocols calculate the best route to each destination and
place these routes in a forwarding table. These routes are then used to forward routing
protocol traffic toward a destination, and they can be advertised to neighbors.

Importing and Exporting Routes

Two termsimport and exportexplain how routes move between the routing protocols
and the routing table.
When the Routing Engine places the routes of a routing protocol into the routing table,
it is importing routes into the routing table.
When the Routing Engine uses active routes from the routing table to send a protocol
advertisement, it is exporting routes from the routing table.
NOTE: The process of moving routes between a routing protocol and the
routing table is described always from the point of view of the routing table.
That is, routes are imported into a routing table from a routing protocol and
they are exported from a routing table to a routing protocol. Remember
this distinction when working with routing policies.
As shown in Figure 6 on page 44, you use import routing policies to control which routes
are placed in the routing table, and export routing policies to control which routes are
advertised from the routing table to neighbors.

Neighbors
In general, the routing protocols place all their routes in the routing table and advertise
a limited set of routes from the routing table. The general rules for handling the routing
information between the routing protocols and the routing table are known as the routing
policy framework.
The routing policy framework is composed of default rules for each routing protocol that
determine which routes the protocol places in the routing table and advertises from the
routing table. The default rules for each routing protocol are known as default routing
policies.
You can create routing policies to preempt the default policies, which are always present.
A routing policy allows you to modify the routing policy framework to suit your needs.
You can create and implement your own routing policies to do the following:
44
Chapter 4: Configuring IS-IS Routing Policy and Route Redistribution
Control which routes a routing protocol places in the routing table.
Control which active routes a routing protocol advertises from the routing table. An
active route is a route that is chosen from all routes in the routing table to reach a
destination.
Manipulate the route characteristics as a routing protocol places the route in the routing
table or advertises the route from the routing table.
You can manipulate the route characteristics to control which route is selected as the
active route to reach a destination. The active route is placed in the forwarding table and
is used to forward traffic toward the routes destination. In general, the active route is
also advertised to a routers neighbors.
Active and Inactive Routes

When multiple routes for a destination exist in the routing table, the protocol selects an
active route and that route is placed in the appropriate routing table. For equal-cost
routes, the Junos OS places multiple next hops in the appropriate routing table.
When a protocol is exporting routes from the routing table, it exports active routes only.
This applies to actions specified by both default and user-defined export policies.
When evaluating routes for export, the Routing Engine uses only active routes from the
routing table. For example, if a routing table contains multiple routes to the same
destination and one route has a preferable metric, only that route is evaluated. In other
words, an export policy does not evaluate all routes; it evaluates only those routes that
a routing protocol is allowed to advertise to a neighbor.
NOTE: By default, BGP advertises active routes. However, you can configure
BGP to advertise inactive routes, which go to the same destination as other
routes but have less preferable metrics.
Explicitly Configured Routes

An explicitly configured route is a route that you have configured. Direct routes are not
explicitly configured. They are created as a result of IP addresses being configured on an
interface. Explicitly configured routes include aggregate, generated, local, and static
routes. (An aggregate route is a route that distills groups of routes with common addresses
into one route. A generated route is a route used when the routing table has no information
about how to reach a particular destination. A local route is an IP address assigned to a
router interface. A static route is an unchanging route to a destination.)
The policy framework software treats direct and explicitly configured routes as if they
are learned through routing protocols; therefore, they can be imported into the routing
table. Routes cannot be exported from the routing table to the pseudoprotocol, because
this protocol is not a real routing protocol. However, aggregate, direct, generated, and
static routes can be exported from the routing table to routing protocols, whereas local
routes cannot.
45
Dynamic Database
In Junos OS Release 9.5 and later, you can configure routing policies and certain routing
policy objects in a dynamic database that is not subject to the same verification required
by the standard configuration database. As a result, you can quickly commit these routing
policies and policy objects, which can be referenced and applied in the standard
configuration as needed. BGP is the only protocol to which you can apply routing policies
that reference policies configured in the dynamic database. After a routing policy based
on the dynamic database is configured and committed in the standard configuration,
you can quickly make changes to existing routing policies by modifying policy objects in
the dynamic database. Because Junos OS does not validate configuration changes to
the dynamic database, when you use this feature, you should test and verify all
configuration changes before committing them.

Understanding Backup Selection Policy for IS-IS Protocol

Support for IS-IS loop-free alternate (LFA) routes essentially adds IP fast-reroute
capability for IS-IS. Junos OS precomputes multiple loop-free backup routes for all IS-IS
routes. These backup routes are pre-installed in the Packet Forwarding Engine, which
performs a local repair and implements the backup path when the link for a primary next
hop for a particular route is no longer available. The selection of LFA is done randomly
by selecting any matching LFA to progress to the given destination. This does not ensure
best backup coverage available for the network. In order to choose the best LFA, Junos
OS allows you to configure network-wide backup selection policies for each destination
(IPv4 and IPv6) and a primary next-hop interface. These policies are evaluated based
on admin-group, srlg, bandwidth, protection-type, metric, and neighbor information.
During backup shortest-path-first (SPF) computation, each node and link attribute of
the backup path is accumulated by IGP and is associated with every node (router) in the
topology. The next hop in the best backup path is selected as the backup next hop in the
routing table. In general, backup evaluation policy rules are categorized into the following
types:
Pruning Rules configured to select the eligible backup path.
Ordering Rules configured to select the best among the eligible backup paths.
The backup selection policies can be configured with both pruning and ordering rules.
While evaluating the backup policies, each backup path is assigned a score, an integer
value that signifies the total weight of the evaluated criteria. The backup path with the
highest score is selected.
To enforce LFA selection, configure various rules for the following attributes:
46
admin-group Administrative groups, also known as link coloring or resource class,

are manually assigned attributes that describe the color of links, such that links with
the same color conceptually belong to the same class. These configured administrative
groups are defined under protocol MPLS. You can use administrative groups to
implement a variety of backup selection policies using exclude, include-all, include-any,
or preference.
srlg A shared risk link group (SRLG) is a set of links sharing a common resource, which
affects all links in the set if the common resource fails. These links share the same risk
of failure and are therefore considered to belong to the same SRLG. For example, links
sharing a common fiber are said to be in the same SRLG because a fault with the fiber
might cause all links in the group to fail. An SRLG is represented by a 32-bit number
unique within an IGP (IS-IS) domain. A link might belong to multiple SRLGs. You can
define the backup selection to either allow or reject the common SRLGs between the
primary and the backup path.
bandwidthThe bandwidth specifies the bandwidth constraints between the primary

and the backup path. The backup next-hop link can be used only if the bandwidth of
the backup next-hop interface is greater than or equal to the bandwidth of the primary
next hop.
protection-type The protection-type protects the destination from node failure of

the primary node or link failure of the primary link. You can configure node, link, or
node-link to protect the destination.. If link-node is configured , then the node-protecting
LFA is preferred over link-protection LFA.
neighbor- The neighbor is per-neighbor policy information. Here, neighbor can be a

directly connected router, remote router like RSVP backup LSP tail-end, or any other
router in the backup SPF path. The neighbors are identified through the TE-router-ID
TLV advertised by a node in the LSP. You can list the neighbors to either prefer or
exclude them in the backup path.
neighbor-tag The neighbor-tag gives per-neighbor policy information and identifies

a group of nodes in the network. You can list the neighbor tags to exclude or prefer the
neighbors in the backup path selection. The routers are not identified with the explicit
router-id but with an admin-tag prefix to their lo0 address prefix. Neighbor tags are
the route tags advertised as part of extended IP reachability with a /32 prefix length
that represents the TE-router _ID or node ID of a router.
metric Metric decides how the LFAs should be preferred. In backup selection path,
root metric and dest-metric are the two types of metrics. root-metric indicates the
metric to the one-hop neighbor or a remote router such as an RSVP backup LSP tail-end
router. The dest-metric indicates the metric from a one-hop neighbor or remote router
such as an RSVP backup LSP tail-end router to the final destination. The metric
evaluation is done either in ascending or descending order. By default, the first
preference is given to backup paths with lowest destination evaluation and then to
backup paths with lowest root metrics.
The evaluation-order allows you to control the order and criteria of evaluating these
attributes in the backup path. You can explicitly configure the evaluation order. Only the
configured attributes influence the backup path selection. The default order of evaluation
47
of these attributes for the LFA is [ admin-group srlg bandwidth protection-type neighbor
neighbor-tag metric ] .

Example: Configuring Backup Selection Policy for IS-IS Protocol

This example shows how to configure the backup selection policy for the IS-IS protocol.
When you enable backup selection policies, Junos OS allows selection of LFA based on
the policy rules and attributes of the links and nodes in the network. These attributes are
admin-group, srlg, bandwidth, protection-type, metric, neighbor, and neighbor-tag.
Overview on page 48
Requirements
This example uses the following hardware and software components:
Eight routers that can be a combination of M Series Multiservice Edge Routers, MX

Series 3D Universal Edge Routers, and T Series Core Routers
Junos OS Release 14.1 or later running on all devices
Before you begin:

1.
Configure the device interfaces.
2. Configure IS-IS.
Overview
Starting with Junos OS Release 14.1, the default loop free alternative (LFA) selection
algorithm or criteria can be overridden with an LFA policy. These policies are configured
for each destination (IPv4 and IPv6) and a primary next-hop interface . These backup
policies enforce LFA selection based on admin-group, srlg, bandwidth, protection-type,
metric, neighbor, and neighbor-tag attributes of the backup path. During backup
shortest-path-first (SPF) computation, each attribute (both node and link) of the backup
path, stored per backup next-hop, is accumulated by IGP. For the routes created internally
by IGP, the attribute set of every backup path is evaluated against the policy configured
for each destination (IPv4 and IPv6) and a primary next-hop interface. The first or the
best backup path is selected and installed as the backup next hop in the routing table.
To configure the backup selection policy, include the backup-selection configuration
statement at the [edit routing-options] hierarchy level. The show backup-selection
command displays the configured policies for a given interface and destination. The
display can be filtered against a particular destination, prefix, interface, or logical systems.

Configuring Backup Selection Policy for the IS-IS Protocol

Support for IS-IS loop-free alternate (LFA) routes essentially adds IP fast-reroute
capability for IS-IS. Junos OS precomputes multiple loop-free backup routes for all IS-IS
routes. These backup routes are pre-installed in the Packet Forwarding Engine, which
performs a local repair and implements the backup path when the link for a primary next
hop for a particular route is no longer available. The selection of LFA is done randomly
by selecting any matching LFA to progress to the given destination. This does not ensure
best backup coverage available for the network. In order to choose the best LFA, Junos
OS allows you to configure network-wide backup selection policies for each destination
(IPv4 and IPv6) and a primary next-hop interface. These policies are evaluated based
on admin-group, srlg, bandwidth, protection-type, metric, and neighbor information.
Before you begin to configure the backup selection policy for the IS-IS protocol:
77
Configure the router interfaces. See the Junos OS Network Management Administration
Guide for Routing Devices
Configure an interior gateway protocol or static routing. See the Junos OS Routing
Protocols Library for Routing Devices
To configure the backup selection policy for the IS-IS protocol:

1.
Configure per-packet load balancing.

user@host# set policy-statement ecmp term 1 then load-balance per-packet
2. Enable RSVP on all the interfaces.
[edit protocols]
user@host# set rsvp interface all
3. Configure administrative groups.

user@host# set admin-groups group-name
4. Configure srlg values.
user@host# set srlg srlg-name srlg-value srlg-value
5. Enable MPLS on all the interfaces.

user@host# set interface all
6. Configure srlg on the interfaces.

user@host# set interface interface-name srlg srlg-name
7. Configure the administrative groups on the interfaces.

user@host# set interface interface-name admin-group group-name
8. Enable link protection and configure the metric value on all the interfaces.
[edit protocols]
user@host# set isis interface all level 2 metric 10
9. Apply the routing policy to all equal cost multipaths exported from the routing table
to the forwarding table.

user@host# set forwarding-table export ecmp
10. Configure the administrative group of the backup selection policy for an IP address.
You can choose to exclude, include all, include any, or prefer the administrative groups
from the backup path.
user@host# set backup-selection destination ip-address interface interface-name
admin-group
78
Specify the administrative group to be excluded.
[edit routing-options backup-selection destination ip-address interface interface-name

admin-group]
user@host# set exclude group-name
The backup path is not selected as the loop-free alternate (LFA) or backup nexthop
if any of the links in the path have any one of the listed administrative groups.
For example, to exclude the group c1 from the administrative group:
[edit routing-options backup-selection destination 0.0.0.0/0 interface all
admin-group]
user@host# set exclude c1
Configure all the administrative groups if each link in the backup path requires all
the listed administrative groups in order to accept the path.
admin-group]
user@host# set include-all group-name
For example, to set all the administrative groups if each link requires all the listed
administrative groups in order to accept the path:
admin-group]
user@host# set include-all c2
Configure any administrative group if each link in the backup path requires at least
one of the listed administrative groups in order to select the path.
admin-group]
user@host# set include-any group-name
For example, to set any administrative group if each link in the backup path requires
at least one of the listed administrative groups in order to select the path:
admin-group]
user@host# set include-any c3
Define an ordered set of administrative group that specifies the preference of the
backup path.
The leftmost element in the set is given the highest preference.
admin-group]
user@host# set preference group-name
For example, to set an ordered set of administrative group that specifies the
preference of the backup path:
admin-group]
user@host# set preference c4
11. Configure the backup path to allow the selection of the backup next hop only if the
bandwidth is greater than or equal to the bandwidth of the primary next hop.
79

12. Configure the backup path to specify the metric from the one-hop neighbor or from
the remote router such as an RSVP backup label-switched-path (LSP) tail-end router
to the final destination.
The destination metric can be either highest or lowest.
Configure the backup path that has the highest destination metric.
dest-metric highest
Configure the backup path that has the lowest destination metric.
dest-metric lowest
13. Configure the backup path that is a downstream path to the destination.
14. Set the order of preference of the root and the destination metric during backup path
selection.
The preference order can be :
[root dest] Backup path selection or preference is first based on the root-metric
criteria. If the criteria of all the root-metric is the same, then the selection or
preference is based on the dest-metric.
[dest root] Backup path selection or preference is first based on the dest-metric
criteria. If the criteria of all the dest-metric is the same, then the selection is based
on the root-metric.
metric-order root
metric-order dest
15. Configure the backup path to define a list of loop-back IP addresses of the adjacent
neighbors to either exclude or prefer in the backup path selection.

The neighbor can be a local (adjacent router) neighbor, remote neighbor, or any other
router in the backup path.
neighbor
Configure the list of neighbors to be excluded.

neighbor]
user@host# set exclude neighbor-address
80
The backup path that has a router from the list is not selected as the loop-free
alternative or backup next hop.
Configure an ordered set of neighbors to be preferred.

neighbor]
user@host# set preference neighbor-address
The backup path having the leftmost neighbor is selected.

16. Define the backup path per-neighbor policy, to either exclude or prefer a backup path.
user@host# set backup-selection destination ip-address interface all neighbor-tag
Configure to not select the backup path as the loop-free alternative or backup-next
hop if any node or router with route-tag is present in the path.
neighbor-tag]
user@host# set exclude route-tag
For example, to not select the backup path as the loop-free alternative or
backup-next hop if any node or router with 1004 route-tag is present in the path:
neighbor-tag]
user@host# set exclude 1004
Configure the set of route tags in descending order of preference.

neighbor-tag]
user@host# set preference route-tag
For example, to configure the set of route tags in descending order of preference:
neighbor-tag]
user@host# set preference 1006
17. Configure the backup path to specify the required protection type of the backup path
to be link, node, or node-link.
Select the backup path that provides link protection.

protection-type link
Select the backup path that provides node protection.

protection-type node
Select the backup path that allows either node or link protection LFA where
node-protection LFA is preferred over link-protection LFA.
81

protection-type node-link
18. Specify the metric to the one-hop neighbor or to the remote router such as an RSVP
backup label-switched-path (LSP) tail-end router.
Select the path with highest root metric.

user@host# set backup-selection destination ip-address interface all root-metric
highest
Select the path with lowest root metric.

user@host# set backup-selection destination ip-address interface all root-metric
lowest
19. Configure the backup selection path to either allow or reject the common shared risk
link groups (SRLGs) between the primary link and each link in the backup path.
Configure the backup path to allow common srlgs between the primary link and
each link in the backup path.
user@host# set backup-selection destination ip-address interface all srlg loose
A backup path with a fewer number of srlg collisions is preferred.
Configure the backup path to reject the backup path that has common srlgs between
the primary link and each link in the backup path.
user@host# set backup-selection destination ip-address interface all srlg strict
20. Configure the backup path to control the order and the criteria of evaluating the backup
path based on the administrative group, srlg, bandwidth, protection type, neighbor,
neighbor-tag, and metric. The default order of evaluation is admin-group, srlg,
bandwidth, protection-type, neighbor, neighbor-tag, and metric.

Configuring Backup Selection Policy for IS-IS Protocol
Example: Redistributing OSPF Routes into IS-IS

This example shows how to redistribute OSPF routes into an IS-IS network.
Overview on page 83
Requirements
example.
Overview
Export policy can be applied to IS-IS to facilitate route redistribution.
Junos OS does not support the application of import policy for link-state routing protocols
like IS-IS because such policies can lead to inconsistent link-state database (LSDB)
entries, which in turn can result in routing inconstancies.
In this example, OSPF routes 192.168.0/24 through 192.168.3/24 are redistributed into
IS-IS area 49.0002 from Device R2.
In addition, policies are configured to ensure that Device R1 can reach destinations on
the 10.0.0.44/30 network, and that Device R3 can reach destinations on the 10.0.0.36/30
network. This enables end-to-end reachability.

Overview
Every routing protocol passes routing information up or down the routing hierarchy. This
bidirectional flow of routing information is known as route leaking.
By default, IS-IS protocol leaks routing information from a Level 1 area to a Level 2 area.
However, to leak routing information from a Level 2 area to a Level 1 area, an export policy
must be explicitly configured.
Topology
In this example, Devices R3 and R4 are configured in a Level 2 area. Devices R5, R6, and
R7 are configured in a Level 1 area.

Configuring Route Leaking from a Level 2 Area to a Level 1 Area

Step-by-Step
Procedure
To configure route leaking from a Level 2 area to a Level 1 area:
1.

Enable IS-IS on the interfaces by including the ISO address family on each interface.
[edit interfaces]
Similarly, configure other routers.

2.
Configure two loopback interface addresses.

One address is for IPv4, and the other address is to enable the router to form
adjacencies with other routers in the area.
3.
Specify the IS-IS level on a per-interface basis.

[edit protocols isis interface]
user@R3# set fe-1/2/0.0 level 1 disable
user@R3# set fe-1/2/1.0 level 1 disable
user@R3# set lo0.0 level 1 disable
4.
Configure a route leaking policy on the routers configured in the Level 2 area to leak
routes into the Level 1 area.

Verification
Verifying Route Leaking from a Level 2 Area to a Level 1 Area
Purpose
Action
Verify that IS-IS leaks routes from a Level 2 area to a Level 1 area.
To verify that route leaking is taking place, use the following commands:
show isis adjacency (to verify that the IS-IS network is up and adjacencies have been
established)
show isis database detail (to verify the presence of leaked routes)
1.
From operational mode on Device R3, run the show isis adjacency command.

The Down keyword identifies the routes that have successfully leaked from the Level
2 area to the Level 1 area.
Meaning
Route leaking from a Level 2 to a Level 1 area is functioning as expected.

Conditions
A BGP community is a group of destinations that share a common property. Community
information is included as a path attribute in BGP update messages. This information
identifies community members and enables you to perform actions on a group without
having to elaborate upon each member. You can use community and extended
communities attributes to trigger routing decisions, such as acceptance, rejection,
preference, or redistribution.
You can assign community tags to non-BGP routes through configuration (for static,
aggregate, or generated routes) or an import routing policy. These tags can then be
matched when BGP exports the routes.
A community value is a 32-bit field that is divided into two main sections. The first 16 bits
of the value encode the AS number of the network that originated the community, while
the last 16 bits carry a unique number assigned by the AS. This system attempts to
guarantee a globally unique set of community values for each AS in the Internet. Junos
OS uses a notation of as-number:community-value, where each value is a decimal number.
The AS values of 0 and 65,535 are reserved, as are all of the community values within
those AS numbers. Each community, or set of communities, is given a name within the
[edit policy-options] configuration hierarchy. The name of the community uniquely
identifies it to the routing device and serves as the method by which routes are categorized.
For example, a route with a community value of 64510:1111 might belong to the community
named AS64510-routes. The community name is also used within a routing policy as a
match criterion or as an action. The command syntax for creating a community is:
policy-options community name members [community-ids]. The community-ids are either
97
a single community value or multiple community values. When more than one value is
assigned to a community name, the routing device interprets this as a logical AND of the
community values. In other words, a route must have all of the configured values before
being assigned the community name.
The regular community attribute is four octets. Networking enhancements, such as VPNs,
have functionality requirements that can be satisfied by an attribute such as a community.
However, the 4-octet community value does not provide enough expansion and flexibility
to accommodate VPN requirements. This leads to the creation of extended communities.
An extended community is an 8-octet value that is also divided into two main sections.
The first 2 octets of the community encode a type field while the last 6 octets carry a
unique set of data in a format defined by the type field. Extended communities provide
a larger range for grouping or categorizing communities.
The BGP extended communities attribute format has three fields:
type:administrator:assigned-number. The routing device expects you to use the words
target or origin to represent the type field. The administrator field uses a decimal number
for the AS or an IPv4 address, while the assigned number field expects a decimal number
no larger than the size of the field (65,535 for 2 octets or 4,294,967,295 for 4 octets).
When specifying community IDs for standard and extended community attributes, you
can use UNIX-style regular expressions. The only exception is for VPN import policies
(vrf-import), which do not support regular expressions for the extended communities
attribute.

Advertising LSPs into IGPs
IS-IS Extensions to Support Route Tagging

To control the transmission of routes into IS-IS, or to control transmission of IS-IS routes
between different IS-IS levels, you can tag routes with certain attributes. IS-IS routes
can carry these attributes, which the routing policies can use to export and import routes
between different IS-IS levels. A sub-TLV to the IP prefix TLV is used to carry the tag or
attribute on the routes.
NOTE: Route tagging does not work when IS-IS traffic engineering is disabled.

}
You can verify that the tag has been correctly applied by using the show isis database
extensive command. In the command output, look for the Administrative tag field.
After verifying that the routes are tagged correctly, you can apply a route leaking policy
to match against the presence of administrative tags, rather than specifying a list of route
filters.

Understanding BFD for IS-IS

The Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) protocol is a simple hello mechanism that
detects failures in a network. Hello packets are sent at a specified, regular interval. A
neighbor failure is detected when the routing device stops receiving a reply after a specified
interval. BFD works with a wide variety of network environments and topologies. The
failure detection timers for BFD have shorter time limits than the failure detection
mechanisms of IS-IS, providing faster detection.
The BFD failure detection timers are adaptive and can be adjusted to be faster or slower.
For example, the timers can adapt to a higher value if the adjacency fails, or a neighbor
can negotiate a higher value for a timer than the configured value. The timers adapt to
a higher value when a BFD session flap occurs more than three times in a span of 15
seconds. A back-off algorithm increases the receive (RX) interval by two if the local BFD
instance is the reason for the session flap. The transmission (TX) interval is increased by
two if the remote BFD instance is the reason for the session flap.
You can use the clear bfd adaptation command to return BFD interval timers to their
configured values. The clear bfd adaptation command is hitless, meaning that the
command does not affect traffic flow on the routing device.
NOTE: BFD for IS-IS on an IPv6-only interface is supported. If the interface

is dual-stacked (both IPv4 and IPv6 are configured), then you can configure
BFD as a client on the IPv4 IS-IS session.
To detect failures in the network, the set of statements in Table 3 on page 110 are used
in the configuration.
109
Table 3: Configuring BFD for IS-IS

Statement
Description
bfd-liveness-detection
Enable failure detection.
minimum-interval
milliseconds
Specify the minimum transmit and receive intervals for failure detection.
This value represents the minimum interval at which the local router transmits hellos packets as
well as the minimum interval at which the router expects to receive a reply from a neighbor with
which it has established a BFD session. You can configure a number from 1 through
255,000 milliseconds. You can also specify the minimum transmit and receive intervals separately.
NOTE: BFD is an intensive protocol that consumes system resources. Specifying a minimum interval
for BFD less than 100 ms for Routing Engine-based sessions and 10 ms for distributed BFD sessions
can cause undesired BFD flapping.
Depending on your network environment, these additional recommendations might apply:
minimum-receive-interval
milliseconds
For large-scale network deployments with a large number of BFD sessions, specify a minimum
interval of 300 ms for Routing Engine-based sessions and 100 ms for distributed BFD sessions.
For very large-scale network deployments with a large number of BFD sessions, please contact
Juniper Networks customer support for more information.
For BFD sessions to remain up during a Routing Engine switchover event when nonstop active
routing (NSR) is configured, specify a minimum interval of 2500 ms for Routing Engine-based
sessions. For distributed BFD sessions with nonstop active routing configured, the minimum
interval recommendations are unchanged and depend only on your network deployment.
Specify only the minimum receive interval for failure detection.

This value represents the minimum interval at which the local router expects to receive a reply
from a neighbor with which it has established a BFD session. You can configure a number from 1
through 255,000 milliseconds.
multiplier number
Specify the number of hello packets not received by the neighbor that causes the originating
interface to be declared down.
The default is 3, and you can configure a value from 1 through 225.
no-adaptation
Disable BFD adaptation.

In Junos OS Release 9.0 and later, you can specify that the BFD sessions not adapt to changing
network conditions.
NOTE: We recommend that you not disable BFD adaptation unless it is preferable not to have
BFD adaptation enabled in your network.
threshold
Specify the threshold for the following:
Adaptation of the detection time

When the BFD session detection time adapts to a value equal to or greater than the threshold,
a single trap and a system log message are sent.
Transmit interval
NOTE: The threshold value must be greater than the minimum transmit interval multiplied by the
multiplier number.

Procedure
Mode.
NOTE: To simply configure BFD for IS-IS, only the minimum-interval statement
is required. The BFD protocol selects default parameters for all the other
configuration statements when you use the bfd-liveness-detection statement
without specifying any parameters.
NOTE: You can change parameters at any time without stopping or restarting
the existing session. BFD automatically adjusts to the new parameter value.
However, no changes to BFD parameters take place until the values
resynchronize with each BFD peer.
To configure BFD for IS-IS on Routers R1 and R2:

1.
Enable BFD failure detection for IS-IS.

user@R1# set interface so-0/0/0 bfd-liveness-detection
user@R2# set interface so-0/0/0 bfd-liveness-detection
2.
Configure the threshold for the adaptation of the detection time, which must be
greater than the multiplier number multiplied by the minimum interval.
[edit protocols isis interface so-0/0/0 bfd-liveness-detection]

user@R1# set minimum-interval 2
4.
Configure only the minimum receive interval for failure detection.

BFD is configured on Routers R1 and R2 for detecting failures in the IS-IS network.
Understanding BFD Authentication for IS-IS

Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) enables rapid detection of communication
failures between adjacent systems. By default, authentication for BFD sessions is disabled.
However, when running BFD over Network Layer protocols, the risk of service attacks can
be significant. We strongly recommend using authentication if you are running BFD over
multiple hops or through insecure tunnels. Beginning with Junos OS Release 9.6, Junos
OS supports authentication for BFD sessions running over IS-IS. BFD authentication is
only supported in the domestic image and is not available in the export image.
You authenticate BFD sessions by specifying an authentication algorithm and keychain,
and then associating that configuration information with a security authentication
keychain using the keychain name.
The following sections describe the supported authentication algorithms, security
keychains, and level of authentication that can be configured:
BFD Authentication Algorithms on page 118
Security Authentication Keychains on page 118
Strict Versus Loose Authentication on page 119
117
BFD Authentication Algorithms

Junos OS supports the following algorithms for BFD authentication:
simple-passwordPlain-text password. One to 16 bytes of plain text are used to
authenticate the BFD session. One or more passwords might be configured. This method
is the least secure and should be used only when BFD sessions are not subject to packet
interception.
keyed-md5Keyed Message Digest 5 hash algorithm for sessions with transmit and
receive intervals greater than 100 ms. To authenticate the BFD session, keyed MD5
uses one or more secret keys (generated by the algorithm) and a sequence number
that is updated periodically. With this method, packets are accepted at the receiving
end of the session if one of the keys matches and the sequence number is greater than
or equal to the last sequence number received. Although more secure than a simple
password, this method is vulnerable to replay attacks. Increasing the rate at which the
sequence number is updated can reduce this risk.
meticulous-keyed-md5Meticulous keyed Message Digest 5 hash algorithm. This
method works in the same manner as keyed MD5, but the sequence number is updated
with every packet. Although more secure than keyed MD5 and simple passwords, this
method might take additional time to authenticate the session.
keyed-sha-1Keyed Secure Hash Algorithm I for sessions with transmit and receive
intervals greater than 100 ms. To authenticate the BFD session, keyed SHA uses one
or more secret keys (generated by the algorithm) and a sequence number that is
updated periodically. The key is not carried within the packets. With this method,
packets are accepted at the receiving end of the session if one of the keys matches
and the sequence number is greater than the last sequence number received.
meticulous-keyed-sha-1Meticulous keyed Secure Hash Algorithm I. This method
works in the same manner as keyed SHA, but the sequence number is updated with
every packet. Although more secure than keyed SHA and simple passwords, this method
might take additional time to authenticate the session.
NOTE: Nonstop active routing (NSR) is not supported with

meticulous-keyed-md5 and meticulous-keyed-sha-1 authentication
algorithms. BFD sessions using these algorithms might go down after a
switchover.
Security Authentication Keychains

The security authentication keychain defines the authentication attributes used for
authentication key updates. When the security authentication keychain is configured and
associated with a protocol through the keychain name, authentication key updates can
occur without interrupting routing and signaling protocols.
The authentication keychain contains one or more keychains. Each keychain contains
one or more keys. Each key holds the secret data and the time at which the key becomes
valid. The algorithm and keychain must be configured on both ends of the BFD session,
118
and they must match. Any mismatch in configuration prevents the BFD session from
being created.
BFD allows multiple clients per session, and each client can have its own keychain and
algorithm defined. To avoid confusion, we recommend specifying only one security
authentication keychain.
Strict Versus Loose Authentication

By default, strict authentication is enabled and authentication is checked at both ends
of each BFD session. Optionally, to smooth migration from nonauthenticated sessions
to authenticated sessions, you can configure loose checking. When loose checking is
configured, packets are accepted without authentication being checked at each end of
the session. This feature is intended for transitional periods only.

Configuring BFD Authentication for IS-IS

Beginning with Junos OS Release 9.6, you can configure authentication for BFD sessions
running over IS-IS. Routing instances are also supported. Only three steps are needed to
configure authentication on a BFD session:
1.
Specify the BFD authentication algorithm for the IS-IS protocol.
2. Associate the authentication keychain with the IS-IS protocol.

3. Configure the related security authentication keychain.
The following sections provide instructions for configuring and viewing BFD authentication
on IS-IS:
Configuring BFD Authentication Parameters on page 119
Viewing Authentication Information for BFD Sessions on page 120
Configuring BFD Authentication Parameters

To configure BFD authentication:
1.
Specify the algorithm (keyed-md5, keyed-sha-1, meticulous-keyed-md5,

meticulous-keyed-sha-1, or simple-password) to use for BFD authentication on an
IS-IS route or routing instance.
[edit]
user@host# set protocols isis interface if1-isis bfd-liveness-detection authentication
algorithm keyed-sha-1
NOTE: Nonstop active routing (NSR) is not supported with the

meticulous-keyed-md5 and meticulous-keyed-sha-1 authentication
algorithms. BFD sessions using these algorithms might go down after a
switchover.
119
2. Specify the keychain to be used to associate BFD sessions on the specified IS-IS route
or routing instance with the unique security authentication keychain attributes.

This should match the keychain name configured at the [edit security authentication
key-chains] hierarchy level.
[edit]
user@host# set protocols isis interface if1-isis bfd-liveness-detection authentication
keychain bfd-isis
NOTE: The algorithm and keychain must be configured on both ends of

the BFD session, and they must match. Any mismatch in configuration
prevents the BFD session from being created.
3. Specify the unique security authentication information for BFD sessions:
The matching keychain name as specified in Step 2.
At least one key, a unique integer between 0 and 63. Creating multiple keys allows
multiple clients to use the BFD session.
The secret data used to allow access to the session.
The time at which the authentication key becomes active, yyyy-mm-dd.hh:mm:ss.

[edit security]
user@host# set authentication-key-chains key-chain bfd-sr4 key 53 secret
$9$ggaJDmPQ6/tJgF/AtREVsyPsnCtUHm start-time 2009-06-14.10:00:00
4. (Optional) Specify loose authentication checking if you are transitioning from
nonauthenticated sessions to authenticated sessions.

[edit]
user@host> set protocols isis interface if1-isis bfd-liveness-detection authentication
loose-check
5. (Optional) View your configuration using the show bfd session detail or show bfd
session extensive command.

6. Repeat these steps to configure the other end of the BFD session.
NOTE: BFD authentication is only supported in the domestic image and is

not available in the export image.
Viewing Authentication Information for BFD Sessions

You can view the existing BFD authentication configuration using the show bfd session
detail and show bfd session extensive commands.
The following example shows BFD authentication configured for the if1-isis interface. It
specifies the keyed SHA-1 authentication algorithm and a keychain name of bfd-isis. The
authentication keychain is configured with two keys. Key 1 contains the secret data
$9$ggaJDmPQ6/tJgF/AtREVsyPsnCtUHm and a start time of June 1, 2009, at 9:46:02
120
AM PST. Key 2 contains the secret data $9$a5jiKW9l.reP38ny.TszF2/9 and a start time
of June 1, 2009, at 3:29:20 PM PST.
interface if1-isis {
authentication {
algorithm keyed-sha-1;
key-chain bfd-isis;
}
}
}
[edit security]
authentication key-chains {
key-chain bfd-isis {
key 1 {
secret $9$ggaJDmPQ6/tJgF/AtREVsyPsnCtUHm;
start-time 2009-6-1.09:46:02 -0700;
}
key 2 {
secret $9$a5jiKW9l.reP38ny.TszF2/9;
start-time 2009-6-1.15:29:20 -0700;
}
}
}
If you commit these updates to your configuration, you see output similar to the following.
In the output for the show bfd sessions detail command, Authenticate is displayed to
indicate that BFD authentication is configured. For more information about the
configuration, use the show bfd sessions extensive command. The output for this
command provides the keychain name, the authentication algorithm and mode for each
client in the session, and the overall BFD authentication configuration status, keychain
name, and authentication algorithm and mode.

IS-IS Multicast Topologies Overview

Most multicast routing protocols perform a reverse-path forwarding (RPF) check on the
source of multicast data packets. If a packet comes in on the interface that is used to
send data to the source, the packet is accepted and forwarded to one or more
downstream interfaces. Otherwise, the packet is discarded and a notification is sent to
the multicast routing protocol running on the interface.
In certain instances, the unicast routing table used for the RPF check is also the table
used for forwarding unicast data packets. Thus, unicast and multicast routing are
congruent. In other cases, where it is preferred that multicast routing be independent of
unicast routing, the multicast routing protocols are configured to perform the RPF check
using an alternate unicast routing table inet.2.
You can configure IS-IS to calculate an alternate IPv4 multicast topology, in addition to
the normal IPv4 unicast topology, and add the corresponding routes to inet.2. The IS-IS
interface metrics for the multicast topology can be configured independently of the
unicast metrics. You can also selectively disable interfaces from participating in the
multicast topology while continuing to participate in the regular unicast topology. This
enables you to exercise control over the paths that multicast data takes through a network
so that it is independent of unicast data paths. You can also configure IS-IS to calculate
an alternate IPv6 multicast topology, in addition to the normal IPv6 unicast topology.
NOTE: IS-IS only starts advertising the routes when the interface routes are
in inet.2.

topologies.

Understanding Dual Stacking of IPv4 and IPv6 Unicast Addresses

Service providers and enterprises are faced with growing their networks using IPv6, while
continuing to serve IPv4 customers.
Increasingly, the public side of network address translation (NAT) devices is IPv6 rather
than IPv4. Service providers cannot continue giving customers globally routable IPv4
addresses, they cannot get new globally routable IPv4 addresses for expanding their
142
own networks, and yet they must continue to serve both IPv4 customers and new
customers, all of whom are primarily trying to reach IPv4 destinations.
IPv4 and IPv6 must coexist for some number of years, and their coexistence must be
transparent to end users. If an IPv4-to-IPv6 transition is successful, end users should not
even notice it.
A dual-stack device is a device with network interfaces that can originate and understand
both IPv4 and IPv6 packets.
Other strategies, such as manually or dynamically configured tunnels and translation
devices exist, but dual stacking is often the preferable solution in many scenarios. The
dual-stacked device can interoperate equally with IPv4 devices, IPv6 devices, and other
dual-stacked devices. When both devices are dual stacked, the two devices agree on
which IP version to use.
The transition is driven by DNS. If a dual-stacked device queries the name of a destination
and DNS gives it an IPv4 address (a DNS A Record), it sends IPv4 packets. If DNS responds
with an IPv6 address (a DNS AAAA Record), it sends IPv6 packets.
Keep in mind that if you are going to dual stack all of your network devices, the interfaces
need both an IPv6 and an IPv4 address. This raises the issue that the Internet has run
out of IPv4 addresses, which is the main reason IPv6 is needed in the first place. If you
do not have an abundant supply of IPv4 addresses to apply to your devices, you can still
use dual stacking, but you will need to conserve your supply of IPv4 addresses by using
network address translation (NAT). Building dual-stacked networks with a mix of global
IPv6 addresses and NAT-ed IPv4 addresses is quite feasible. Some specific solutions
include carrier-grade NAT (CGN), NAT44(4), NAT64, NAT464, and dual-stack lite.
Table 6 on page 143 describes at a high level how to pick a network addressing technique.
In reality, a complete solution might include a set of techniques to satisfy multiple service
needs. It is important to understand the backbone technology being used on the network
and also to know if the provider has control over the access customer premises equipment
(CPE).

Requirements
example.
Overview
Video: IS-IS Dual Stacking
You can use IPv4 and IPv6 dual stacking to begin your migration from IPv4 to IPv6 by
implementing IPv6 alongside IPv4 in your existing networks. This allows you to implement
IPv6 so that you can provide the same services over IPv6for example, video, voice,
high-quality datathat you currently provide in your IPv4 networks. You can then perform
incremental upgrades to IPv6 and avoid service disruptions while migrating from IPv4 to
IPv6.
Unlike RIP and OSPF, IS-IS does not require a distinct protocol or a new version to support
IPv6. Because IS-IS uses ISO addresses, the configuration for IPv6 and IPv4 is identical
in the Junos OS implementation of IS-IS. For IS-IS to carry IPv6 routes, you only need to
add IPv6 addresses to IS-IS enabled interfaces or include other IPv6 routes in your IS-IS
export policy.
The only explicit configuration needed in IS-IS with regard to IPv6 is if you want to disable
it. Alternatively, you can disable IPv4 routing and use IS-IS with IPv6 only. An example
of each is provided here:
Disable IPv6 routing in IS-IS:
user@host# set no-ipv6-routing
Use IS-IS exclusively for IPv6 routing:

user@host# set no-ipv4-routing

Understanding IS-IS IPv4 and IPv6 Unicast Topologies

You can configure IS-IS to calculate an alternate IPv6 unicast topology, in addition to
the normal IPv4 unicast topology, and add the corresponding routes to inet6.0. The IS-IS
interface metrics for the IPv4 topology can be configured independently of the IPv6
metrics. You can also selectively disable interfaces from participating in the IPv6 topology
while continuing to participate in the IPv4 topology. This enables you to exercise control
over the paths that unicast data takes through a network.
A topology is the set of joined nodes. IS-IS evaluates all the paths in a single topology
for each IS-IS level and uses the shortest-path-first (SPF) algorithm to determine the
best path among all the feasible paths. Topology discovery and SPF calculation is
performed in a protocol-neutral fashion because it is done at Layer 2 of the OSI model.
If you load the topology with reachability information for a certain protocol (for example,
IP), the assumption is that the circuits that are supposed to provide reachability between
routing devices can carry the protocol. The SPF algorithm has a per-link orientation, not
a per-address family or per-protocol orientation.
Multitopology routing enables you to override this default behavior by enabling a
per-address family, per-protocol SPF calculation.
The additional CPU load associated with multiple runs of the SPF algorithm is generally
not an issue with the processing power available on todays routing device control planes.
The multitopology extensions alter existing type, length, and value (TLV) tuples by adding
a topology ID. Each routing device in a given topology maintains its adjacencies and runs
a per-topology SPF calculation.

Example: Configuring IS-IS IPv4 and IPv6 Unicast Topologies

This example shows how to configure IS-IS to calculate an alternate IPv6 unicast topology,
in addition to the normal IPv4 unicast topology.
Requirements
example.
Overview
This example focuses on IPv4 and IPv6 unicast topologies. The IS-IS interface metrics
for the IPv4 topology can be configured independently of the IPv6 metrics. You can also
150
selectively disable interfaces from participating in the IPv6 topology while continuing to
participate in the IPv4 topology. This enables you to exercise control over the paths that
unicast data takes through a network.
To enable an IPv6 unicast topology for IS-IS, include the ipv6-unicast statement:
isis {
topologies {
ipv6-unicast;
}
}
To configure a metric for the IPv6 unicast topology, include the ipv6-unicast-metric
statement:
isis {
interface interface-name {
level level-number {
ipv6-unicast-metric number;
}
}
}
To exclude an interface from the IPv6 unicast topologies for IS-IS, include the
no-ipv6-unicast statement:
isis {
no-ipv6-unicast;
}
}
Figure 15 on page 152 shows the topology used in this example. The black lines indicate
link membership in the IPv6 topology. The gray lines indicate membership to the IPv4
topology. Using regular TLVs, it would not be possible to build multiple topologies and
run an SPF calculation based on them. The multitopology extensions describe an
extension to carry the set of supported protocols in the hello packet. After activating
multitopology routing support on a link, the link carries all the topologies that the
underlying circuit is able to relay.

The IS-IS hello (IIH) packet shows that IPv4 and IPv6 are supported. The hello packet
lists valid IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, and therefore the routing device can create valid
next-hop entries. The supported protocols are listed in the multitopology TLV #229.

Understanding Loop-Free Alternate Routes for IS-IS

In Junos OS Release 9.5 and later, support for IS-IS loop-free alternate routes enables
IP fast-reroute capability for IS-IS. Junos OS precomputes loop-free backup routes for
all IS-IS routes. These backup routes are preinstalled in the Packet Forwarding Engine,
which performs a local repair and implements the backup path when the link for a primary
next hop for a particular route is no longer available. With local repair, the Packet
Forwarding Engine can correct a path failure before it receives recomputed paths from
the Routing Engine. Local repair reduces the amount of time needed to reroute traffic to
less than 50 milliseconds. In contrast, global repair can take up to 800 milliseconds to
compute a new route. Local repair and global repair are thus complementary. Local repair
enables traffic to continue to be routed using a backup path until global repair is able to
calculate a new route.
A loop-free path is one that does not forward traffic back through the routing device to
reach a given destination. That is, a neighbor whose shortest path to the destination
traverses the routing device is not used as a backup route to that destination. To determine
loop-free alternate paths for IS-IS routes, Junos OS runs shortest-path-first (SPF)
calculations on each one-hop neighbor. You can enable support for alternate loop-free
routes on any IS-IS interface. Because it is common practice to enable LDP on an interface
for which IS-IS is already enabled, this feature also provides support for LDP
label-switched paths (LSPs).
NOTE: If you enable support for alternate loop-free routes on an interface

configured for both LDP and IS-IS, you can use the traceroute command to
trace the active path to the primary next hop.
159
The level of backup coverage available through IS-IS routes depends on the actual
network topology and is typically less than 100 percent for all destinations on any given
routing device. You can extend backup coverage to include RSVP LSPs.
Junos OS provides two mechanisms for route redundancy for IS-IS through alternate
loop-free routes: link protection and node-link protection. When you enable link protection
or node-link protection on an IS-IS interface, Junos OS creates a single alternate path to
the primary next hop for all destination routes that traverse a protected interface. Link
protection offers per-link traffic protection. Use link protection when you assume that
only a single link might become unavailable but that the neighboring node on the primary
path would still be available through another interface.
Node-link protection establishes an alternate path through a different routing device
altogether. Use node-link protection when you assume that access to a node is lost when
a link is no longer available. As a result, Junos OS calculates a backup path that avoids
the primary next-hop routing device. In Junos OS Release 9.4 and earlier, only the RSVP
protocol supports Packet Forwarding Engine local repair and fast reroute as well as link
protection and node protection.
In Figure 16 on page 161, Case 2 shows how link protection allows source Router A to
switch to Link B when the primary next hop Link A to destination Router C fails. However,
if Router B fails, Link B also fails, and the protected Link A is lost. If node-link protection
is enabled, Router A is able to switch to Link D on Router D and bypass the failed Router
B altogether. As shown in Case 1, with node-link protection enabled, Router A has a
node-link protection alternate path available through Router D to destination Router C.
That means that if Router B fails, Router A can still reach Router C because the path from
Router A to Link D remains available as an alternate backup path.
160
Chapter 7: Configuring IS-IS Link and Node Link Protection
Figure 16: Link Protection and Node-Link Protection Comparison for IS-IS
Routes
The Junos OS implementation of support for loop-free alternate paths for IS-IS routes
is based on the following standards:
RFC 5286, Basic Specification for IP Fast-Reroute: Loop-free Alternates
RFC 5714, IP Fast Reroute Framework
Configuring Link Protection for IS-IS

You can configure link protection on any interface for which IS-IS is enabled. When you
enable link protection, Junos OS creates one alternate path to the primary next hop for
all destination routes that traverse a protected interface. Link protection assumes that
only a single link becomes unavailable but that the neighboring node would still be
available through another interface.
NOTE: You must also configure a per-packet load-balancing routing policy

to ensure that the routing protocol process installs all the next hops for a
given route in the routing table.
To enable link protection, include the link-protection statement at the [edit protocols isis
interface interface-name] hierarchy level:
[edit]
protocols {
isis {
161
link-protection;
}
}
}
Configuring Node-Link Protection for IS-IS

You can configure node-link protection on any interface for which IS-IS is enabled.
Node-link protection establishes an alternate path through a different routing device
altogether for all destination routes that traverse a protected interface. Node-link
protection assumes that the entire routing device, or node, has failed. Junos OS therefore
calculates a backup path that avoids the primary next-hop routing device.
NOTE: You must also configure a per-packet load-balancing routing policy

to ensure that the routing protocol process installs all the next hops for a
given route in the routing table.
To enable node-link protection, include the node-link-protection statement at the [edit

protocols isis interface interface-name] hierarchy level:
[edit]
protocols {
isis {
node-link-protection;
}
}
}
Excluding an IS-IS Interface as a Backup for Protected Interfaces

By default, all IS-IS interfaces that belong to the master instance or a specific routing
instance are eligible as backup interfaces for protected interfaces. You can specify that
any IS-IS interface be excluded from functioning as a backup interface to protected
interfaces. To exclude an IS-IS interface as a backup interface, include the
no-eligible-backup statement at the [edit protocols isis interface interface-name] hierarchy
level:
[edit]
protocols {
isis {
no-eligible-backup;
}
}
}
Configuring RSVP Label-Switched Paths as Backup Paths for IS-IS

Relying on the shortest-path-first (SPF) calculation of backup paths for one-hop
neighbors might result in less than 100 percent backup coverage for a specific network
topology. You can enhance coverage of IS-IS and LDP label-switched paths (LSPs) by
162
configuring RSVP LSPs as backup paths. To configure a specific RSVP LSP as a backup
path, include the backup statement at the [edit protocols mpls label-switched-path
lsp-name] hierarchy level:
[edit]
protocols {
mpls {
label-switched-path lsp-name {
backup;
to ip-address;
}
}
}
When configuring an LSP, you must specify the IP address of the egress routing device
with the to statement. For detailed information about configuring LSPs and RSVP, see
the Junos OS MPLS Applications Library for Routing Devices.
Using Operational Mode Commands to Monitor Protected IS-IS Routes

You can issue operational mode commands that provide more details about your
link-protected and node-link-protected IS-IS routes. The following guidelines explain
the type of information available from the output of each command:
show isis backup label-switched-pathDisplays which MPLS LSPs have been designated
as backup paths and the current status of those LSPs.
show isis backup spf resultsDisplays SPF calculations for each neighbor for a given
destination. Indicates whether a specific interface or node has been designated as a

backup path and why. Use the no-coverage option to display only those nodes that do
not have backup coverage.
show isis backup coverageDisplays the percentage of nodes and prefixes for each
type of address family that is protected.
show isis interface detailDisplays the type of protection (link or node-link) applied
to each protected interface.

example.
Overview
In this example, core-facing interfaces are enabled for IS-IS Level 2, LDP, and RSVP.
Node-link protection is enabled on all the core-facing interfaces, which means that if the
primary next hop for any destination that traverses the interfaces becomes unavailable,
Junos OS uses a backup link that avoids the next-hop router altogether if necessary.
You also need to configure a routing policy that requires all traffic to use per-packet load
balancing in order to enable Packet Forwarding Engine local repair. With local repair, the
Packet Forwarding Engine can correct a path failure and implement a backup loop-free
alternate route before it receives recomputed paths from the Routing Engine.

Understanding Remote LFA over LDP Tunnels in IS-IS Networks

In an IS-IS network, a loop free alternate (LFA) is a directly connected neighbor that
provides precomputed backup paths to the destinations reachable via the protected link
on the point of local repair (PLR). A remote LFA is not directly connected to the PLR and
provides precomputed backup paths using dynamically created LDP tunnels to the
remote LFA node. The PLR uses this remote LFA backup path when the primary link fails.
The primary goal of the remote LFA is to increase backup coverage for the IS-IS networks
and provide protection for Layer 1 metro-rings.
LFAs do not provide full backup coverage for IS-IS networks. This is a major setback for
metro Ethernet networks that are often shaped as ring topologies. To overcome this
setback, Resource Reservation Protocol - Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) backup tunnels
are commonly used to extend the backup coverage. However, a majority of network
providers have already implemented LDP as the MPLS tunnel setup protocol and do not
want to implement the RSVP-TE protocol merely for backup coverage. LDP automatically
brings up transport tunnels to all potential destinations in an IS-IS network and hence is
the preferred protocol. The existing LDP implemented for the MPLS tunnel setup can be
reused for protection of IS-IS networks and subsequent LDP destinations, thereby
eliminating the need for RSVP-TE backup tunnels for backup coverage.
To calculate the remote LFA backup path, the IS-IS protocol determines the remote LFA
node in the following manner:
1.
Calculates the reverse shortest path first from the adjacent router across the protected
link of a PLR. The reverse shortest path first uses the incoming link metric instead of
the outgoing link metric to reach a neighboring node.
The result is a set of links and nodes, which is the shortest path from each leaf node
to the root node.
2. Calculates the shortest path first (SPF) on the remaining adjacent routers to find the
list of nodes that can be reached without traversing the link being protected.
The result is another set of links and nodes on the shortest path from the root node
to all leaf nodes.
3. Determines the common nodes from the above results, These nodes are the remote
LFAs.
IS-IS listens to the advertised labels for the LDP routes. For each advertised LDP route,
IS-IS checks if it contains an LDP supplied next hop. If the corresponding IS-IS route does
have a backup next hop, then IS-IS runs the backup policy and adds an additional tracking
route with the corresponding LDP label-switched path next hop as the backup next hop.
If there are no backup next hops, LDP builds a dynamic LDP tunnel to the remote LFA,
and LDP establishes a targeted adjacency between the remote LFA node and the PLR
node. This backup route has two LDP labels. The top label is the IS-IS route, which denotes
the backup path from the PLR to the remote LFA route. The bottom label is the LDP
MPLS label-switched path that denotes the route for reaching the ultimate destination
from the remote LFA. When an LDP session goes down and a remote tunnel is no longer
available, IS-IS changes all the routes that have been using this backup LDP tunnel.
174
NOTE: Currently, Junos OS supports only IPv4 transport LSPs. If you need to
reuse IPv4 transport LSPs for IPv6 IGP networks, add an IPv6 explicit NULL
label to the label stack of the tracking route. The system automatically
converts the IPv4 LSP to an IPv6 LSP.
LDP might be vulnerable by an automatically targeted adjacency, and these threats can
be mitigated using all or some of the following mechanisms:
Related
Documentation
Remote LFAs that are several hops away use extended hello messages to indicate
willingness to establish a targeted LDP session. A remote LFA can reduce the threat
of spoofed extended hellos by filtering them and accepting only those originating at
sources permitted by an access or filter list.
There is a need to TCP-MD5 authenticate all auto-targeted LDP sessions in the given
IGP/LDP domain using apply-groups or LDP global-level authentication.
As an added security measure, the repair or remote tunnel endpoint routers should be
assigned from a set of addresses that are not reachable from outside of the routing
domain.

Configuring Remote LFA Backup over LDP Tunnels in an IS-IS Network

The primary goal of a remote loop-free alterate (LFA) is to increase backup coverage for
IS-IS routes and provide protection especially for Layer 1 metro-rings. The existing LDP
implemented for the MPLS tunnel setup can be reused for protection of IS-IS networks
and subsequent LDP destinations. The IS-IS protocol creates a dynamic LDP tunnel to
reach the remote LFA node from the point of local repair (PLR). The PLR uses this remote
LFA backup path when the primary link fails.
Before you configure remote LFA over LDP tunnels in an IS-IS network, you must do the
following:
1.
Enable LDP on the loopback interface.

Configure a loopback interface because an LDP targeted adjacency cannot be formed
without a loopback interface. LDP targeted adjacency is essential for determining
remote LFA backup paths.
2. Make sure that remote LFA allows asymmetric remote neighbor discovery, that is, it
must send periodic targeted hellos to the router that initiated the remote neighbor
for LDP auto-targeted adjacency.
175
3. Configure link protection or node-link protection on the PLR.
To configure remote LFA backup over LDP tunnels in an IS-IS network:

1.
Enable remote LFA backup to determine the backup next hop using dynamic LDP
label-switched path.
[edit protocols isis backup-spf-options]
user@host# set remote-backup-calculation
2. (Optional) Include the node-link-degradation statement even if node-link protection
is not configured for a given interface.

The device uses the configured link protection LFA as the backup for the primary link.
user@host# set node-link-degradation
3. Enable automatically targeted LDP sessions using the loopback addresses between
the PLR and the remote LFA node.

[edit protocols ldp]
user@host# set auto-targeted-session
4. Specify a time interval for which the targeted LDP sessions are kept up even after the
remote LFA node goes down.

[edit protocols ldp auto-targeted-session]
user@host# set teardown-delay seconds
For example, to set a teardown delay value of 60 seconds:

user@host# set teardown-delay 60
5. Specify maximum number of automatically targeted LDP sessions to optimize memory
usage.
user@host# set maximum-sessions number of sessions
For example, to set a maximum sessions allowed to 20:

user@host# set maximum-sessions 20

This example shows how to configure remote LFA for LDP tunnels in an IS-IS network
for extending backup protection.
Requirements
Six MX Series routers with IS-IS protocol and LDP enabled on the connected interfaces.
Junos OS Release 14.2 or later running on all devices.
Before you configure remote LFA over LDP tunnels in IS-IS networks, make sure of the
following:
LDP is enabled on the loopback interface. Without a loopback interface, LDP targeted
adjacency cannot be formed. Remote LFA cannot be configured without LDP targeted
adjacency.
Remote LFA must allow asymmetric remote neighbor discovery, that is, it must send
periodic targeted hellos to the router that initiated the remote neighbor for LDP auto
targeted adjacency.
Link protection or node-link protection must be configured on the point of local repair
(PLR).
Overview
The example includes six routers in a ring topology. Configure the IS-IS protocol on the
directly connected interfaces. Device R1 is the PLR. This example verifies that Junos OS
updates the routing table of Device R1 with LDP next-hop routes as the backup route.

to all LDP label-switched paths.
user@R1# set spf-options delay 1000
user@R1# set interface all node-link-protection
5.
Enable remote LFA backup which calculates the backup next hop using dynamic
LDP label-switched path.
(Optional) When you include the node link degradation statement even if node
protection LFA is not configured for a given destination, the device uses the
configured link protection LFA as the backup for the primary link.
user@R1# set backup-spf-options remote-backup-calculation
user@R1# set backup-spf-options node-link-degradation
6.
Configure MPLS to use LDP label-switched paths for all interfaces on the device.
[edit protocols]
user@R1# set mpls interface all
user@R1# set mpls interface fxp0.0 disable
user@R1# set ldp interface all
user@R1# set ldp interface fxp0.0 disable
7.
Specify a time interval for which the targeted LDP sessions are kept up when the
remote LFA goes down, and specify a maximum number of automatically, targeted
LDP sessions to optimize the use of memory.

IS-IS Extensions to Support Traffic Engineering

To help provide traffic engineering and MPLS with information about network topology
and loading, extensions have been added to the Junos OS implementation of IS-IS.
Specifically, IS-IS supports new type, length, and value (TLV) tuples that specify link
attributes. These TLVs are included in the IS-IS link-state PDUs. The link-attribute
information is used to populate the traffic engineering database, which is used by the
Constrained Shortest Path First (CSPF) algorithm to compute the paths that MPLS
label-switched paths (LSPs) take. This path information is used by RSVP to set up LSPs
and reserve bandwidth for them.
NOTE: Whenever possible, use IS-IS interior gateway protocol (IGP) shortcuts
instead of traffic engineering shortcuts.
The traffic engineering extensions are defined in RFC 5305, IS-IS Extensions for Traffic
Engineering.
IS-IS IGP Shortcuts

In IS-IS, you can configure shortcuts, which allow IS-IS to use an LSP as the next hop as
if it were a subinterface from the ingress routing device to the egress routing device. The
address specified in the to statement at the [edit protocols mpls label-switched-path
lsp-path-name] hierarchy level must match the router ID of the egress routing device for
189
the LSP to function as a direct link to the egress routing device and to be used as input
to IS-IS SPF calculations. When used in this way, LSPs are no different than Asynchronous
Transfer Mode (ATM) and Frame Relay virtual circuits (VCs), except that LSPs carry only
IPv4 traffic.

Using Labeled-Switched Paths to Augment SPF to Compute IGP Shortcuts

Link-state protocols, such as OSPF and IS-IS, use the shortest-path-first (SPF) algorithm
to compute the shortest-path tree to all nodes in the network. The results of such
computations can be represented by the destination node, next-hop address, and output
interface, where the output interface is a physical interface. Label-switched paths (LSPs)
can be used to augment the SPF algorithm, for the purposes of resolving BGP next hops.
On the node performing the calculations, LSPs appear to be logical interfaces directly
connected to remote nodes in the network. If you configure the interior gateway protocol
(IGP) to treat LSPs the same as a physical interface and use the LSPs as a potential
output interface, the SPF computation results are represented by the destination node
and output LSP, effectively using the LSP as a shortcut through the network to the
destination.
As an illustration, begin with a typical SPF tree (see Figure 19 on page 190).
Figure 19: Typical SPF Tree, Sourced from Router A
If an LSP connects Router A to Router D and if IGP shortcuts are enabled on Router A,
you might have the SPF tree shown in Figure 20 on page 190.
Figure 20: Modified SPF Tree, Using LSP AD as a Shortcut
190
Chapter 8: Configuring IS-IS Traffic Engineering
Note that Router D is now reachable through LSP AD.

When computing the shortest path to reach Router D, Router A has two choices:
Use IGP path ABD.
Use LSP AD.
Router A decides between the two choices by comparing the IGP metrics for path ABD
with the LSP metrics for LSP AD. If the IGP metric is lower, path ABD is chosen
(Figure 19 on page 190). If the LSP metric is lower, LSP AD is used (Figure 20 on page 190).
If both metrics are equal, LSP AD is chosen because LSPs are preferred over IGP paths.
Note that Routers E and F are also reachable through LSP AD, because they are
downstream from Router D in the SPF tree.
Assuming that another LSP connects Router A to Router E, you might have the SPF tree
shown in Figure 21 on page 191.

Overview
MPLS traffic engineering maps certain data flows to established label-switched paths
(LSPs) rather than to data links calculated by the interior gateway protocol (IGP) to be
part of the best (shortest) path. Fundamental to this function is the determination of
what traffic is to be mapped to an LSP. Traffic is mapped to an LSP at the tunnel's ingress
label switching router (LSR) by designating the egress LSR as the next-hop router for
certain destination prefixes.
It is important to understand that the LSP does not constitute an entire route to a
destination. Rather, the LSP is a next-hop segment of the route. Therefore, packets can
only be mapped to an LSP if the egress LSR is considered to be a feasible next-hop
candidate during the route resolution process.

In this example, Device C has an external BGP (EBGP) peer session with Device G in
autonomous system (AS) 65520. In order to enable its internal BGP (IBGP) peers to
access subnets in AS 65520, Device G runs IS-IS passively on its interface connecting to
Device G. IS-IS has information about the external subnets and enters routes to these
subnets in the inet.0 routing table. BGP, when resolving the next-hop addresses of
AS-external routes, uses the IGP route.
TIP: An alternative to passively running IS-IS on the interface would be to

use a next-hop self policy.
192
Device A has an LSP to Device C. The path is configured to always go through Device E,
rather than going through Device B.
Interior gateway protocol (IGP) shortcuts, also called traffic-engineering shortcuts,
provide a tool by which the link-state IGP (OSPF or IS-IS) in an AS can consider an LSP
in its shortest-path-first (SPF) calculations. If using passive external interfaces, the IGP
views an LSP as a single data link toward the destinations beyond the LSP egress device.
When you use traffic-engineering bgp (which is the default) and IGP shortcuts, the traffic
engineering solution is used for BGP AS-external route resolution only. However, traffic
to AS-internal destinations can also be mapped to LSPs. To accomplish this,
traffic-engineering bgp-igp is enabled. Thus, RSVP installs the MPLS prefixes into the
inet.0 table rather than the inet.3 table. As a result, the MPLS LSPs are installed in the
forwarding table.
This approach finds practical application whenever heavy traffic is routed to specific
destinations within an AS, such as server farms.
An important point about IGP shortcuts, whether used alone or in conjunction with
traffic-engineering BGP-IGP, is that IGP adjacencies are never formed across the LSPs.
The IGP sees the LSP as a single data link, but does not view the egress router as a
potential peer and does not forward hello messages across the LSP. Also, RSVP messages
are never forwarded over LSPs, preventing the possibility of an LSP being inadvertently
built within another LSP.

Procedure
To configure IS-IS traffic-engineering shortcuts:
1.

[edit interfaces]
user@A# set fe-1/2/0 unit 0 family inet address 10.0.0.1/30
user@A# set fe-1/2/0 unit 0 family iso
user@A# set fe-1/2/0 unit 0 family mpls
user@A# set fe-1/2/1 unit 0 family inet address 10.0.0.5/30
user@A# set fe-1/2/1 unit 0 family iso
user@A# set fe-1/2/1 unit 0 family mpls
user@A# set lo0 unit 0 family inet address 192.168.0.1/32
user@A# set lo0 unit 0 family iso address 49.0002.0192.0168.0001.00
2.
Enable a signaling protocol on the interfaces.

[edit protocols rsvp]
user@A# set interface lo0.0
user@A# set interface fe-1/2/0.0
3.
Enable MPLS on the interfaces.

4.
Configure the label-switched path.

A single LSP, named test_path, is configured from Device A to Device C. The LSP
explicit route object (ERO) is specified to use a strict hop through Device E, so that
the LSP takes a different path from the OSPF shortest path of ABC. The LSP is
signaled using RSVP, but no CSPF is running.
user@A# set label-switched-path test_path to 192.168.0.3
user@A# set label-switched-path test_path no-cspf
user@A# set label-switched-path test_path primary through_E
user@A# set path through_E 192.168.0.5 strict
5.
Configure traffic engineering for both BGP and IGP destinations.

When IGP shortcuts are also enabled, the IGP can use the LSP in its calculations.
The results of the calculations are entered into the inet.0 table.
user@A# set traffic-engineering bgp-igp
6.
Configure internal BGP (IBGP) peering among the devices.

user@A# set type internal
user@A# set local-address 192.168.0.1
user@A# set neighbor 192.168.0.5
197

7.
Enable IS-IS on the interfaces, and set the link metric.

user@A# set interface fe-1/2/0.0 level 1 disable
user@A# set interface fe-1/2/1.0 level 1 disable
user@A# set interface lo0.0
8.
Configure IS-IS to use MPLS LSPs as next hops for the IPv4 address family.
It is only necessary to enable IGP shortcuts on the ingress router because that is the
router performing the shortest-path-first (SPF) calculations.
It is important to understand how IGP shortcuts affect the protocol and routing
table relationship. The IGP performs SPF calculations to subnets downstream of
LSP egress points, but the results of these calculations are entered into the inet.3
table only. At the same time, the IGP performs its traditional SPF calculations and
enters the results of these calculations into the inet.0 table. The result is that
although the IGP is making entries into the inet.3 table, BGP is still the only protocol
with visibility into that table for the purposes of route resolution. Therefore,
forwarding to AS-internal destinations still uses the inet.0 IGP routes, and the LSPs
are only used for BGP next-hop resolution. If you want the LSPs to be used for IGP
next-hop resolution, you must configure traffic-engineering bgp-igp.

IS-IS chooses the LSP as the shortest path to destinations downstream of the LSP egress
device. Additionally, because the IGP uses the LSP to reach external subnet 10.0.0.24/30,
BGP also uses the LSP in its routes to 10.2.0.0 and 10.3.0.0.
If next-hop self were used at Device C, BGP would still choose the LSP over the IGP path.

On all four routing devices, the ingress and egress IP addresses of the LSP are shown.
The path is shown as an ingress path at Device A, and packets forwarded on the LSP are
assigned a label of 299776. At Device E, the LSP is transit, and packets arriving with a
label of 299776 are given an outgoing label of 299808. The labels have significance only
between neighboring label-switched routers (LSRs). Device F swaps incoming label

299808 for outgoing label 3. Device C, the egress, pops label 3 and routes the received
packet by standard IP longest-match route lookup.

When traffic-engineering bgp is configured, the first trace is to a destination belonging to

the BGP-learned 10.2.0.0/16 prefix, and follows the LSP. The second trace is to the
IS-IS-learned 192.168.0.3 route (Device Cs loopback interface address), and follows the
IS-IS route. These results correspond to what we observe in the forwarding table. The
forwarding table is built based on routes in inet.0 only. BGP can look into inet.3 and select
an LSP as the best path to the next hop of a BGP prefix, and can add a route into inet.0
utilizing that LSP. An entry is then made to the forwarding table from the inet.0 route.
No other protocol, by default, can consult inet.3, and the inet.3 routes are not entered
into inet.0. Therefore, the forwarding entry for 192.168.0.3 is created from the only route
to that destination in inet.0: the IS-IS route.
When traffic-engineering bgp-igp is configured, the first trace to 10.2.1.1 continues to follow
the LSP. The second trace to 192.168.0.3 also follows the LSP. These results correspond
to what we observe in the forwarding table, which shows that the LSP is used for IGP
next-hop resolution.

Understanding Forwarding Adjacencies

A forwarding adjacency is a traffic engineering label-switched path (LSP) that is
configured between two nodes and that is used by the interior gateway protocol (IGP)
to forward traffic.
When you set up MPLS traffic-engineering tunnels between sites, by default the IGP does
not consider those tunnels for traffic forwarding. Forwarding adjacencies allow you to
treat a traffic engineering LSP tunnel as a link in an IGP topology. The link is used in the
shortest-path-first (SPF) algorithm and is advertised to the IGP peers. A forwarding
adjacency can be created between routing devices regardless of their location in the
network.

Understanding Wide IS-IS Metrics for Traffic Engineering

All OSPF and IS-IS interfaces have a cost, which is a routing metric that is used in the
link-state calculation. Routes with lower total path metrics are preferred over those with
higher path metrics. Unlike OSPF, in which the link metric is calculated automatically
based on bandwidth, there is no automatic calculation for IS-IS. All IS-IS links use a metric
of 10 by default.
Normally, IS-IS metrics can have values up to 63. The total cost to a destination is the
sum of the metrics on all outgoing interfaces along a particular path from the source to
the destination. By default, the total path metric is limited to 1023. This metric value is
insufficient for large networks and provides too little granularity for traffic engineering,
especially with high-bandwidth links. A wider range of metrics is also required if route
leaking is used.
IS-IS generates two type, length, and value (TLV) tuples, one for an IS-IS adjacency and
the second for an IP prefix. To allow IS-IS to support traffic engineering, a second pair of
TLVs has been added to IS-IS, one for IP prefixes and the second for IS-IS adjacency and
traffic engineering information. With these TLVs, IS-IS metrics can have values up
24
to 16,777,215 (2 1).
By default, Junos OS supports the sending and receiving of wide metrics. Junos OS allows
a maximum metric value of 63 and generates both pairs of TLVs. To configure IS-IS to
generate only the new pair of TLVs and thus to allow the wider range of metric values,
you must include the wide-metrics-only statement in the IS-IS configuration.

Understanding LDP-IGP Synchronization

Synchronization between the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) and the underlying interior
gateway protocol (IGP) ensures that LDP is fully established before the IGP path is used
for forwarding traffic.
LDP is often used to establish MPLS label-switched paths (LSPs) throughout a complete
network domain using an IGP such as OSPF or IS-IS. In such a network, all links in the
domain have IGP adjacencies as well as LDP adjacencies. LDP establishes the LSPs on
the shortest path to a destination as determined by IP forwarding.
If the IGP and LDP are not synchronized, packet loss can occur. This issue is especially
significant for applications such as a core network that does not employ BGP. Another
example is an MPLS VPN where each provider edge (PE) router depends on the availability
of a complete MPLS forwarding path to the other PE devices for each VPN that it serves.
This means that along the shortest path between the PE routers, each link must have
an operational hello adjacency and an operational LDP session, and MPLS label bindings
must have been exchanged over each session.
LDP establishes MPLS LSPs along the shortest path to the destination as determined
by IP forwarding. In a Layer 2 VPN or Layer 3 VPN scenario, if the LSP is not yet formed
215
between the PE devices, services depending on MPLS forwarding fail. When LDP has not
completed exchanging label bindings with an IGP next hop, traffic is discarded if the head
end of the LSP forwards traffic because the LSP is assumed to be in place.
There are various reasons that the LSP fails to come up, as follows:
Configuration errors and implementation issues.
When an LDP hello adjacency or an LDP session with a peer is lost due to some error
while the IGP still points to that peer. IP forwarding of traffic continues on the IGP link
associated with the LDP peer rather than being shifted to another IGP link with which
LDP is synchronized.
When a new IGP link comes up, causing the next hop to a certain destination to change
in the IGPs shortest-path-first (SPF) calculations. Although the IGP might be up on
the new link, LDP might not have completed label exchange for all the routes. This
condition might be transient or due to a misconfiguration.
LDP-IGP synchronization discourages a link from being used while the LDP sessions are
not fully established. When LDP is not fully operational on a link, the IGP advertises a
maximum cost for the link, thus preventing traffic from flowing through it. The IGP does
not advertise the original cost or metric for the link until either LDP label exchange has
been completed with the peer on the link or a configured amount of time has passed
(the holddown period).
When synchronization is configured, LDP notifies the IGP to advertise the maximum cost
for the link when one of the following triggering events takes place:
The LDP hello adjacency goes down.
The LDP session goes down.
LDP is configured on an interface.
If the holddown timer has been configured, the timer starts when the triggering event
takes place. When the timer expires, LDP notifies the IGP to resume advertising the original
cost.
If the holddown timer has not been configured, the IGP waits (endlessly) until bindings
have been received from downstream routers for all the forwarding equivalence classes
(FECs) that have a next hop on that interface. Only after that takes place does LDP notify
the IGP to bring down the cost on the interface.
LDP-IGP synchronization is supported only for directly connected peers and links with
the platform label space.
Synchronization Behavior During Graceful Restart

LDP-IGP synchronization does not take place while the IGP is in the process of a graceful
restart. When the graceful restart completes, links for which synchronization has been
configured are advertised with maximum metrics in either of the following cases:
216
LDP is not yet operational on the link and no holddown timer has been configured.
The configured holddown timer has not expired.
During LDP graceful restart, no synchronization operations are done. If the LDP graceful
restart is terminated, LDP notifies the IGPs to advertise the links with the maximum
metric.
Synchronization Behavior on LAN Interfaces

LDP-IGP synchronization does not take place on LAN interfaces unless the IGP has a
point-to-point connection over the LAN configured on the interface. The reason for this
is that multiple LDP peers might be connected on such an interface unless a point-to-point
connection to a single peer has been configured. Because synchronization raises the cost
on the interface high enough to prevent traffic from being forwarded to that link, if multiple
peers are connected, the cost is raised on all the peers even though LDP might be
unsynchronized with only one of the peers. Consequently, traffic is diverted away from
all the peers, an undesirable situation.
Synchronization Behavior on IGP Passive Interfaces

On IGP passive interfaces, the link cost is not raised when LDP-IGP synchronization is
configured and a triggering event occurs.
Synchronization and TE Metrics

When traffic engineering is configured for an IGP, LDP-IGP synchronization does not
affect the traffic engineering metric advertised for the link, regardless of whether the
traffic-engineering (TE) metric is explicitly configured or the default value.

Documentation
Example: Configuring Synchronization Between IS-IS and LDP

This example shows how to enable synchronization between IS-IS and LDP.
Requirements
Before you begin, configure IS-IS and LDP. For an example, see Example: Configuring a
Layer 3 VPN with Route Reflection and AS Override.
Overview
LDP distributes labels in non-traffic-engineered applications. Labels are distributed along
the best path determined by IS-IS. If the synchronization between LDP and IS-IS is lost,
the label-switched path (LSP) goes down. Therefore, LDP and IS-IS synchronization is
beneficial. When LDP synchronization is configured and when LDP is not fully operational
on a given link (a session is not established and labels are not exchanged), IS-IS advertises
217
the link with the maximum cost metric. The link is not preferred but remains in the network
topology.
LDP synchronization is supported only on point-to-point interfaces and LAN interfaces
configured as point-to-point interfaces under IS-IS. LDP synchronization is not supported
during graceful restart.
To advertise the maximum cost metric until LDP is operational for LDP synchronization,
include the ldp-synchronization statement:
ldp-synchronization {
disable;
hold-time seconds;
}
To disable synchronization, include the disable statement. To configure the time period
to advertise the maximum cost metric for a link that is not fully operational, include the
hold-time statement.
NOTE: When an interface has been in the holddown state for more than
3 minutes, a system log message with a warning level is sent. This message
appears in both the messages file and the trace file.

Understanding Link-State PDU Throttling for IS-IS Interfaces

Link-state PDU throttling by use of the lsp-interval statement is a mechanism to control
the flooding pace to neighboring routing devices to prevent overloading them.
Control traffic (link-state PDU and related packets) might cause delays in user traffic
(information packets) because control traffic always has precedence in terms of
scheduling on the interface cards.
Unfortunately, the control traffic transmission rate does not get lower on low-bandwidth
interfaces such as DS-0 or fractional T1/E1 lines. Control traffic stays the same, regardless
of line bandwidth.
Junos OS does not support automated calculation of link-state PDU throttling based on
available bandwidth because the lowest-speed interface cards on a Juniper Networks
routing device starts at T1/E1 speeds (1.5 and 2 Mbps). It is assumed that even with
link-state PDU pacing of 20 ms, the control traffic will not consume more than half of
the interface bandwidth.
However, there might be fractional T1/E1 circuits (less than the full bandwidth) configured
as well, where link-state PDU pacing might have to be adjusted.
Thus, the lsp-interval statement helps to resolve two issues: regulating the
control-traffic-to-user-traffic ratio, and protecting neighbors during transient situations.
The traffic subject to this pacing is non-self-originated traffic, which is traffic that has
been originated by other routers, not the local router. Junos OS has hard-coded rate
limiting for locally generated link-state PDUs. All the link-state PDUs are paced using a
223
20 ms timer. Additionally, there is logic that makes sure that the adjacency is reliably up
for some time before advertising the adjacency.

Interfaces
This example shows how to modify the link-state PDU interval time.
Requirements
Before you begin, configure IS-IS. See Example: Configuring IS-IS on page 14 for
information about the sample IS-IS configuration.
Overview
To keep reachability information in the network current, link-state protocols need to
originate, distribute, and revoke or time-out topology information. In IS-IS, topology
information is encoded in link-state PDUs.
By default, the routing device sends one link-state PDU out an interface every
100 milliseconds. To modify this interval, include the lsp-interval statement:
lsp-interval milliseconds;
To disable the transmission of all link-state PDUs, set the interval to 0.

Link-state PDU throttling by use of the lsp-interval statement controls the flooding pace
to neighboring routing devices in order to not overload them and also to ensure that user

Understanding the Transmission Frequency for CSNPs on IS-IS Interfaces

The complete sequence number PDU (CSNP) interval controls the frequency at which
a routing device sends a directory of its link-state database.
When IS-IS is activated on a routing devices interface, the device first sends some IS-IS
hello packets (IIHs) to its neighbors to ensure that the circuit is capable of transporting
packets in both directions. In the IIHs, the router embeds information about the designated
router (also called the designated intermediate system or DIS). One of the designated
router roles on an IS-IS broadcast circuit is to synchronize the link-state databases on
LANs. The designated router does this by periodically sending a directory of its link-state
database, which is received by all the routing devices on a LAN.
If the routing device is the designated router on a LAN, IS-IS sends CSNPs every
10 seconds. If the routing device is on a point-to-point interface, it sends CSNPs every
5 seconds. The general recommendation is to use the default values or to increase the
CSNP interval if there are a large number of broadcast circuits that need to be supplied
with fresh CSNPs. Increasing the interval can help protect against CSNP flooding.

This example shows how to modify the complete sequence number PDU (CSNP) interval
on IS-IS interfaces.
Requirements
Before you begin, configure IS-IS. See Example: Configuring IS-IS on page 14 for
information about the sample IS-IS configuration.
Overview
CSNPs contain a complete list of all link-state PDUs in the IS-IS database. CSNPs are
sent periodically on all links, and the receiving systems use the information in the CSNP
to update and synchronize their link-state PDU databases. The designated router
multicasts CSNPs on broadcast links in place of sending explicit acknowledgments for
each link-state PDU.
If the routing device is the designated router on a LAN, IS-IS sends CSNPs every
10 seconds. If the routing device is on a point-to-point interface, it sends CSNPs every
5 seconds. You might want to modify the default interval to protect against CSNP flooding.
To modify the CSNP interval, include the csnp-interval statement:
csnp-interval seconds;
The time can range from 1 through 65,535 seconds.

To configure the interface not to send any CSNPs, specify the disable option:
csnp-interval disable;
In this example, an IS-IS routing device on a LAN segment is configured to send CSNPs
every 30 seconds.

Understanding IS-IS Mesh Groups

A mesh group is a set of routing devices that are fully connected. That is, they have a fully
meshed topology.
Junos OS supports IS-IS mesh groups as documented in RFC 2973, IS-IS Mesh Groups.
When link-state PDUs are being flooded throughout an area, each router within a mesh
group receives only a single copy of a link-state PDU instead of receiving one copy from
each neighbor, thus minimizing the overhead associated with the flooding of link-state
PDUs.
Mesh groups provide a scaling method for the flooding subsystem. We recommend that
you deploy mesh groups when your network design has a dense flooding topology. For
example, consider the classical overlay topologies of the 1990s where 200 routers were
fully meshed using permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) over an ATM core, because ATM
was the only high-speed technology at the time. A PVC is a software-defined logical
connection in a network such as a Frame Relay network.
What has changed since the 1990s is that IP and MPLS technology have reduced the
ATM layer and removed the need for overlay meshing. The flooding graphs have become
233
sparse in almost all practical deployments. In service provider networks, overlay networks
are no longer used.
In enterprise networks, dense flooding graphs that, for example, lease a Layer 2 VPN
service (an overlay network) to fully mesh its WAN routers might continue to be a useful
architecture. In such cases, mesh groups might be useful.

Overview
When link-state PDUs are being flooded throughout an area, each router within a mesh
group receives only a single copy of a link-state PDU instead of receiving one copy from
each neighbor, thus minimizing the overhead associated with the flooding of link-state
PDUs.
To create a mesh group and designate that an interface be part of the group, assign a
mesh-group number to all the routing device interfaces in the group:
mesh-group value;
To prevent an interface in the mesh group from flooding link-state PDUs, configure
blocking on that interface:

intradomain routing information for Connectionless Network Service (CLNS) destinations
within a CLNS network. Routers that learn host addresses through End

Introduction to Logical Systems

For many years, engineers have combined power supplies, routing hardware and software,
forwarding hardware and software, and physical interfaces into a networking device
known as a router. Networking vendors have created large routers and small routers, but
all routers have been placed into service as individual devices. As a result, the router has
been considered a single physical device for most of its history.
The concept of logical systems breaks with this tradition. With the Junos operating
system (Junos OS), you can partition a single router into multiple logical devices that
perform independent routing tasks. Because logical systems perform a subset of the
tasks once handled by the main router, logical systems offer an effective way to maximize
the use of a single routing or switching platform.
NOTE: Beginning with Junos OS Release 9.3, the logical router feature has
been renamed logical system.
All configuration statements, operational commands, show command output,
error messages, log messages, and SNMP MIB objects that contain the string
logical-router have been changed to logical-system.
Traditionally, service provider network design requires multiple layers of switches and
routers. These devices transport packet traffic between customers. As seen on the left
side of Figure 29 on page 246, access devices are connected to edge devices, which are
in turn connected to core devices.
However, this complexity can lead to challenges in maintenance, configuration, and
operation. To reduce such complexity, Juniper Networks supports logical systems. Logical
systems perform a subset of the actions of the main router and have their own unique
routing tables, interfaces, policies, and routing instances. As shown on the right side of
245
Figure 29 on page 246, a set of logical systems within a single router can handle the
functions previously performed by several small routers.

Understanding Default Routes

A default route is the route that takes effect when no other route is available for an IP
destination address.
If a packet is received on a routing device, the device first checks to see if the IP destination
address is on one of the devices local subnets. If the destination address is not local, the
device checks its routing table. If the remote destination subnet is not listed in the routing
table, the packet is forwarded to the next hop toward the destination using the default
route. The default route generally has a next-hop address of another routing device,
which performs the same process. The process repeats until a packet is delivered to the
destination.
The route evaluation process in each router uses the longest prefix match method to
obtain the most specific route. The network with the longest subnet mask that matches
the destination IP address is the next-hop network gateway.
The default route in IPv4 is designated as 0.0.0.0/0 or simply 0/0. Similarly, in IPv6, the
default route is specified as ::/0. The subnet mask /0 specifies all networks, and is the
shortest match possible. A route lookup that does not match any other route uses this
256
route if it is configured and active in the routing table. To be active, the configured next-hop
address must be reachable.
Administrators generally point the default route toward the routing device that has a
connection to a network service provider. Therefore, packets with destinations outside
the organization's local area network, typically destinations on the Internet or a wide
area network, are forwarded to the routing device with the connection to that provider.
The device to which the default route points is often called the default gateway.

Example: Configuring an IS-IS Default Route Policy on Logical Systems

This example shows logical systems configured on a single physical router and explains
how to configure a default route on one logical system.
Requirements
example.
Overview
This example shows a logical system redistributing a default route to other logical systems.
All logical systems are running IS-IS. A common reason for a default route is to provide
a path for sending traffic destined outside the IS-IS domain.
In this example, the default route is not used for forwarding traffic. The no-install
statement prevents the route from being installed in the forwarding table of Logical
System LS3. If you configure a route so it is not installed in the forwarding table, the route
is still eligible to be exported from the routing table to other protocols. The discard
statement silently drops packets without notice.

The routing table on Logical System LS3 contains the default 0.0.0.0/0 route from
protocol Static. The routing tables on Logical System LS1 and Logical System LS2 contain
the default 0.0.0.0/0 route from protocol IS-IS. If Logical System LS1 and Logical System
LS2 receive packets destined for networks not specified in their routing tables, those
packets will be sent to Logical System LS3 for further processing. This configuration
assumes that Logical System LS3 has a connection to an ISP or another external network.

Example: Tracing Global Routing Protocol Operations

This example shows how to list and view files that are created when you enable global
routing trace operations.
Requirements
You must have the view privilege.
Overview
To configure global routing protocol tracing, include the traceoptions statement at the
[edit routing-options] hierarchy level:
traceoptions {
file filename <files number> <size size> <world-readable | no-world-readable>;
flag flag <disable>;
}
The flags in a traceoptions flag statement are identifiers. When you use the set command
to configure a flag, any flags that might already be set are not modified. In the following
example, setting the timer tracing flag has no effect on the already configured task flag.
Use the delete command to delete a particular flag.
[edit routing-options traceoptions]
user@host# show
flag task;
user@host# set traceoptions flag timer
user@host# show
flag task;
flag timer;
user@host# delete traceoptions flag task
user@host# show
267
flag timer;
This example shows how to configure and view a trace file that tracks changes in the
routing table. The steps can be adapted to apply to trace operations for any Junos OS
hierarchy level that supports trace operations.
TIP: To view a list of hierarchy levels that support tracing operations, enter

Isolating a Broken Network Connection

By applying the standard four-step process illustrated in Figure 34 on page 274, you can
isolate a failed node in the network.
Figure 34: Process for Diagnosing Problems in Your Network
Before you embark on the four-step process, however, it is important that you are prepared
for the inevitable problems that occur on all networks. While you might find a solution
to a problem by simply trying a variety of actions, you can reach an appropriate solution
more quickly if you are systematic in your approach to the maintenance and monitoring
of your network. To prepare for problems on your network, understand how the network
functions under normal conditions, have records of baseline network activity, and carefully
observe the behavior of your network during a problem situation.
Figure 35 on page 274 shows the network topology used in this topic to illustrate the
process of diagnosing problems in a network.

The network in Figure 35 on page 274 consists of two autonomous systems (ASs). AS
65001 includes two routers, and AS 65002 includes three routers. The border router (R1)
in AS 65001 announces aggregated prefixes 100.100/24 to the AS 65002 network. The
274
Chapter 13: Troubleshooting Network Issues
problem in this network is that R6 does not have access to R5 because of a loop between
R2 and R6.
To isolate a failed connection in your network, follow these steps:
Identifying the Symptoms of a Broken Network Connection

Problem
Description: The symptoms of a problem in your network are usually quite obvious, such
as the failure to reach a remote host.
Solution
To identify the symptoms of a problem on your network, start at one end of your network
and follow the routes to the other end, entering all or one of the following Junos OS
command-line interfaces (CLI) operational mode commands:
user@host> ping (ip-address | host-name)
user@host> show route (ip-address | host-name)
user@host> traceroute (ip-address | host-name)

Meaning
The sample output shows an unsuccessful ping command in which the packets are being
rejected because the time to live is exceeded. The output for the show route command
275
shows the interface (10.1.26.1) that you can examine further for possible problems. The
traceroute command shows the loop between 10.1.26.1 (R2) and 10.1.26.2 (R6), as indicated
by the continuous repetition of the two interface addresses.
Isolating the Causes of a Network Problem

Problem
Description: A particular symptom can be the result of one or more causes. Narrow down
the focus of your search to find each individual cause of the unwanted behavior.
Solution
To isolate the cause of a particular problem, enter one or all of the following Junos OS
CLI operational mode command:
To isolate the cause of a particular problem, enter one or all of the following Junos OS
CLI operational mode command:
user@host> show < configuration | bgp | interfaces | isis | ospf | route >
Your particular problem may require the use of more than just the commands listed
above. See the appropriate command reference for a more exhaustive list of commonly
used operational mode commands.

> to 10.1.12.1 via so-0/0/0.0
Meaning
The sample output shows that all interfaces on R6 are up. The output from R2 shows
that a static route [Static/5] configured on R2 points to R6 (10.1.26.2) and is the preferred
route to R5 because of its low preference value. However, the route is looping from R2
to R6, as indicated by the missing reference to R5 (10.1.15.2).
276
Chapter 13: Troubleshooting Network Issues
Taking Appropriate Action for Resolving the Network Problem

Problem
Description: The appropriate action depends on the type of problem you have isolated.
In this example, a static route configured on R2 is deleted from the [routing-options]
hierarchy level. Other appropriate actions might include the following:
Solution
Check the local routers configuration and edit it if appropriate.
Troubleshoot the intermediate router.
Check the remote host configuration and edit it if appropriate.
Troubleshoot routing protocols.
Identify additional possible causes.
To resolve the problem in this example, enter the following Junos OS CLI commands:
[edit]
user@R2# delete routing-options static route destination-prefix
user@R2# commit and-quit
user@R2# show route destination-prefix
Sample Output
[edit]
user@R2# delete routing-options static route 10.0.0.5/32
[edit]
user@R2# commit and-quit

AS path: 65001 I
> to 10.1.12.1 via so-0/0/0.0
Meaning
The sample output shows the static route deleted from the [routing-options] hierarchy
and the new configuration committed. The output for the show route command now
shows the BGP route as the preferred route, as indicated by the asterisk (*).
Evaluating the Solution to Check Whether the Network Problem Is Resolved

Problem
Description: If the problem is solved, you are finished. If the problem remains or a new
problem is identified, start the process over again.
You can address possible causes in any order. In relation to the network in Isolating a
Broken Network Connection on page 274, we chose to work from the local router toward
the remote router, but you might start at a different point, particularly if you have reason
277
to believe that the problem is related to a known issue, such as a recent change in
configuration.
Solution
To evaluate the solution, enter the following Junos OS CLI commands:

user@host> show route (ip-address |host-name)
user@host> ping (ip-address | host-name)
user@host> traceroute (ip-address | host-name)
Sample Output
10.0.0.5/32
*[BGP/170] 00:01:35, MED 5, localpref 100, from 10.0.0.2

AS path: 65001 I
> to 10.1.26.1 via so-0/0/2.0

PING 10.0.0.5 (10.0.0.5): 56 data bytes
^C
user@R6> traceroute 10.0.0.5
1 10.1.26.1 (10.1.26.1) 0.629 ms 0.538 ms 0.497 ms
2 10.1.12.1 (10.1.12.1) 0.534 ms 0.538 ms 0.510 ms
3 10.0.0.5 (10.0.0.5) 0.776 ms 0.705 ms 0.672 ms
Meaning
The sample output shows that there is now a connection between R6 and R5. The show
route command shows that the BGP route to R5 is preferred, as indicated by the asterisk
(*). The ping command is successful and the traceroute command shows that the path
from R6 to R5 is through R2 (10.1.26.1), and then through R1 (10.1.12.1).

Verifying the IS-IS Protocol

Purpose
If your MPLS network is configured with IS-IS as the interior gateway protocol (IGP), and
the output of the show mpls lsp extensive command shows that there is a problem, check
the IP and IS-IS layers. Because IS-IS and IP are independent of each other, you can check
either layer first. For more information about checking the IP layer, see Verifying the IP
Layer.
After you have checked the IP layer and determined that there is still a problem, check
the IS-IS layer, verify that IS-IS adjacencies are up, and make sure that the interfaces
and IS-IS protocol are configured correctly.
Figure 36: MPLS Network Broken at the IS-IS Protocol Layer
279
To check the IS-IS protocol, follow these steps:

1.
Verify the LSP on page 280
2. Verify IS-IS Adjacencies and Interfaces on page 281

3. Verify the IS-IS Configuration on page 282
4. Take Appropriate Action on page 283
5. Verify the LSP Again on page 284
Verify the LSP

Purpose
Action
Confirm that interfaces are configured for IS-IS, that the IS-IS protocol is configured
correctly, and that adjacencies are established.
To verify the label-switched path (LSP), enter the following command on the ingress,
transit, and egress routers:

Verify IS-IS Adjacencies and Interfaces

Purpose
When you check the IS-IS layer, you verify that IS-IS adjacencies are up and that the IS-IS
interfaces are included at the protocol level.
Action
To verify the functioning of adjacent interfaces, enter the following commands from the
relevant routers:

Sample Output 1 shows that ingress router R1 has established adjacencies with the
relevant routers. Transit router R3 does not have an adjacency with egress router R6, and
egress router R6 has no adjacencies established in the network shown in MPLS Network
Broken at the IP and IGP Layers, indicating that the problem might be at the IS-IS protocol
level.
Sample Output 2 shows that R1 and R2 are Level 2 routers, in contrast to R6 which is a
Level 1 router. When a router is configured explicitly as a Level 1 or Level 2 router, it does
not communicate with routers configured at a different level. Level 1 routers communicate
with other Level 1 routers within their area, while Level 2 routers communicate with other
Level 2 routers, and toward other autonomous systems. Because all the routers in this
network are configured for Level 2, they cannot form an adjacency with R6, which is
incorrectly configured as a Level 1 router.
Verify the IS-IS Configuration

Purpose
When you have determined that the problem is probably at the IS-IS protocol level, check
the IS-IS configuration of the routers in your network.
Action
To verify the IS-IS configuration, enter the following command from the relevant routers:
user@host> show configuration protocols isis
282
Sample Output
user@R1> show configuration protocols isis
level 1 disable;
interface lo0.0; {
passive
level 1 disable;
interface all {
level 2 metric 10;
}
interface fxp0.0 {
disable;
}
interface lo0.0; {
passive
level 2 disable; <<< Incorrect level disabled
interface all {
level 2 metric 10;
}
interface fxp0.0 {
disable;
}
interface lo0.0; {
passive
Meaning
The sample output shows that R6 has Level 2 disabled, while R1 and R3 have Level 1
disabled. For IS-IS adjacencies to establish, routers need to be at the same level. Another
common configuration error is to omit the loopback interface (lo0) from the configuration
at the [edit protocols isis] hierarchy level. IS-IS does not function correctly if the loopback
interface (lo0) is not configured at this level. In addition, including the passive statement
ensures that protocols are not run over the loopback interface (lo0) and that the loopback
interface (lo0) is advertised correctly throughout the network.
Take Appropriate Action

Problem
Description: Depending on the error you encountered in your investigation, you must take
the appropriate action to correct the problem. In the example below, the routers are
configured to function at different levels of the IS-IS protocol.
Solution
To correct the error in this example, enter the following commands:
283
Sample Output

user@R6# show

Verify the LSP Again

Purpose
Action
After taking the appropriate action to correct the error, the label-switched path (LSP)
needs to be checked again to confirm that the problem in the RSVP layer has been
resolved.
To verify that the LSP is up and traversing the network as expected, enter the following
command from the ingress, egress, and transit routers:

Sample Outputs 1 and 3 from ingress router R1 and egress router R6 show that the LSP
is now traversing the network along the expected path, from R1 through R3 to R6, and
the reverse LSP, from R6 through R3 to R1. In addition, Sample Output 2 from transit
router R3 shows that there are two transit LSP sessions, one from R1 to R6, and the other
from R6 to R1.
Verifying the IS-IS Configuration on a Router in a Network

Purpose
For IS-IS to run on a router (intermediate system) in your network, you must enable IS-IS
on the router, configure a network entity title (NET) on the loopback interface (lo0), and
configure family iso on all interfaces on which you want to run IS-IS. When you enable
IS-IS on a router, Level 1 and Level 2 are enabled by default.
Figure 37 on page 287 illustrates an example of routers at different levels in an IS-IS
topology.
Figure 37: Levels in an IS-IS Network Topology
287
The network in Figure 37 on page 287 is organized hierarchically and consists of Level 2,
Level 1/Level 2, and Level 1 routers in one autonomous system (AS) divided into four
areas: 49.0001, 49.0002, 49.0003, and 49.0004. The Level 2 routers route toward other
autonomous systems. The Level 1/Level 2 routers route between areas and to other
autonomous systems. The Level 1 routers route within an area, and when the destination
is outside the local area, they route toward a Level1/Level2 system.
In the following topics, the configuration of the various types of routers is examined.
Figure 38 on page 288 provides more details about the IS-IS network topology in
Figure 37 on page 287 so that you can verify the configuration output of the various routers.

To verify that IS-IS is configured correctly on routers at different levels, follow these
steps:
1.
Check the Configuration of a Level 1/Level 2 Router on page 288
2. Check the Configuration of a Level 1 Router on page 290

Meaning
The sample output shows a basic configuration of IS-IS on R2, a Level 1/Level 2 router.
The basic configuration is at the [edit protocols isis] and [edit interfaces] hierarchy levels.
At the [edit protocols isis] level, five interfaces are included: so-0/0/0, so-0/0/1, so-0/0/2,
fxp0, and the loopback interface (lo0). Two interfaces, so-0/0/0.0 and so-0/0/2.0,
have Level 1 disabled, making them Level 2 interfaces. One interface, so-0/0/1.0, has
Level 2 disabled, making it a Level 1 interface. The management interface (fxp0) is
disabled so that IS-IS packets are not sent over it, and the loopback interface (lo0) is
included because it becomes a point of connection from the router to the IS-IS network.
At the [edit interfaces] hierarchy level, all of the interfaces included in the [edit protocols
isis] hierarchy level are configured with family iso, and the loopback interface (lo0) is
configured with the NET address 49.0002.1000.0000.0002.00. Every router in an IS-IS
network must have at least one NET address that identifies a point of connection to the
IS-IS network. The NET address is generally configured on the loopback interface (lo0).
Routers that participate in multiple areas can have multiple NET addresses.

The sample output shows a basic configuration of IS-IS on R4, a Level 1 router. The basic
configuration is at the [edit protocols isis] and [edit interfaces] hierarchy levels.
At the [edit protocols isis] hierarchy level, three interfaces are included: so-0/0/2.0, fxp0,
and the loopback interface (lo0). Level 2 is disabled on the router, making it a Level 1
router that sends packets within its local area, 49.0001. When a packet destination is
outside the local area, R4 establishes an adjacency with the nearest Level 1/Level 2 router
(R5) that forwards the packets. For more information about adjacencies, see Displaying
the Status of IS-IS Adjacencies on page 293.
One interface, so-0/0/2.0, is configured for IS-IS. The management interface (fxp0) is
disabled so that IS-IS packets are not sent over it, and the loopback interface (lo0) is
included because it becomes a point of connection from the router to the IS-IS network.
At the [edit interfaces] hierarchy level, the interface included in the [edit protocols isis]
hierarchy level is also configured with family iso, and the loopback interface (lo0) is
configured with the NET address of 49.0001.1000.0000.0004.00. Every router in an
IS-IS network must have at least one NET address that identifies a point of connection
to the IS-IS network. The NET address is generally configured on the loopback interface
(lo0). Routers that participate in multiple areas can have multiple NET addresses.

292
Meaning
The sample output shows a basic configuration of IS-IS on R6, a Level 2 router. The basic
configuration is at the [edit protocols isis] and [edit interfaces] hierarchy levels.
At the [edit protocols isis] level, four interfaces are included: so-0/0/0.0, so-0/0/2.0,
fxp0, and the loopback interface (lo0). Level 1 is disabled on the two SONET/SDH
interfaces, making this a Level 2 router that routes between areas and toward other ASs.
The management interface (fxp0) is disabled so that IS-IS packets are not sent over it,
and the loopback interface (lo0) is included because it becomes a point of connection
from the router to the IS-IS network.
At the [edit interfaces] hierarchy level, the interfaces included in the [edit protocols isis]
hierarchy level are also configured with family iso, and the loopback interface (lo0) is
configured with the NET address of 49.0003.1000.0000.0006.00. Every router in an
IS-IS network must have at least one NET address that identifies a point of connection
to the IS-IS network. The NET address is generally configured on the loopback interface
(lo0). Routers that participate in multiple areas can have multiple NET addresses.

Displaying the Status of IS-IS Adjacencies

Purpose
Assuming that all the routers are correctly configured for IS-IS, you can verify which
neighbors are adjacent and able to exchange IS-IS data. In addition, you can examine
the set of routes installed in the forwarding table to verify that the routing protocol process
(rpd) has relayed the correct information into the forwarding table.
Figure 39 on page 294 illustrates the example IS-IS topology used for the procedures in
this topic.
293
Figure 39: IS-IS Network Topology
The network consists of Level 1 and Level 2 adjacencies. Level 1 adjacencies are within
areas 49.0001 and 49.0002. Level 2 adjacencies occur between all directly connected
Level 2 routers regardless of which area they are in. For example, R5 is in area 49.0001,
R6 is in area 49.0003, R1 is in area 49.0004, and R2 is in area 49.0002. The network in
Figure 39 on page 294 should have the following adjacencies:
Level 2 adjacencies between all directly connected Level 2 routers (R1, R2, R5, and R6).
Level 1 adjacencies between routers in area 49.0001 (R4 and R5) and between routers
in area 49.0002 (R2 and R3).
To verify that routers are adjacent and able to exchange IS-IS data, follow these steps:

Routing Protocol Process Memory FAQs

The following sections present the most frequently asked questions and answers related
to the routing protocol process memory utilization, operation, interpretation of related
command outputs, and troubleshooting the software process.
Routing Protocol Process Overview

Junos OS is based on the FreeBSD Unix operating system. The open source software is
modified and hardened to operate in the devices specialized environment. For example,
some executables have been deleted, while other utilities were de-emphasized.
Additionally, certain software processes were added to enhance the routing functionality.
The result of this transformation is the kernel, the heart of the Junos OS software.
The kernel is responsible for operating multiple processes that perform the actual
functions of the device. Each process operates in its own protected memory space, while
the communication among all the processes is still controlled by the kernel. This
separation provides isolation between the processes, and resiliency in the event of a
process failure. This is important in a core routing platform because a single process
failure does not cause the entire device to cease functioning.
Some of the common software processes include the routing protocol process (rpd)
that controls the devices protocols, the device control process (dcd) that controls the
devices interfaces, the management process (mgd) that controls user access to the
device, the chassis process (chassisd) that controls the devices properties itself, and
the Packet Forwarding Engine process (pfed) that controls the communication between
the devices Packet Forwarding Engine and the Routing Engine. The kernel also generates
specialized processes as needed for additional functionality, such as SNMP, the Virtual
Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), and Class of Service (CoS).
The routing protocol process is a software process within the Routing Engine software,
which controls the routing protocols that run on the device. Its functionality includes all
protocol messages, routing table updates, and implementation of routing policies.
The routing protocol process starts all configured routing protocols and handles all
routing messages. It maintains one or more routing tables, which consolidate the routing
301
information learned from all routing protocols. From this routing information, the routing
protocol process determines the active routes to network destinations and installs these
routes into the Routing Engines forwarding table. Finally, it implements routing policy,
which allows you to control the routing information that is transferred between the routing
protocols and the routing table. Using routing policy, you can filter and limit the transfer
of information as well as set properties associated with specific routes.
Frequently Asked Questions: Routing Protocol Process Memory

This section presents frequently asked questions and answers related to the memory
usage of the routing protocol process.
Why does the routing protocol process use excessive memory?
The routing protocol process uses hundreds of megabytes of RAM in the Routing Engine
to store information needed for the operation of routing and related protocols, such as
BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, RSVP, LDP and MPLS. Such huge consumption of memory is common
for the process, as the information it stores includes routes, next hops, interfaces, routing
policies, labels, and label-switched paths (LSPs). Because access to the RAM memory
is much faster than access to the hard disk, most of the routing protocol process
information is stored in the RAM memory instead of using the hard disk space. This ensures
that the performance of the routing protocol process is maximized.
How can I check the amount of memory the routing protocol process is using?
You can check routing protocol process memory usage by entering the show system
processes and the show task memory Junos OS command-line interface (CLI) operational
mode commands.
The show system processes command displays information about software processes
that are running on the device and that have controlling terminals. The show task memory
command displays memory utilization for routing protocol tasks on the Routing Engine.
You can check the routing protocol process memory usage by using the show system
processes command with the extensive option. The show task memory command displays
a report generated by the routing protocol process on its own memory usage. However,
this report does not display all the memory used by the process. The value reported by
the routing protocol process does not account for the memory used for the TEXT and
STACK segments, or the memory used by the processs internal memory manager. Further,
the Resident Set Size value includes shared library pages used by the routing protocol
process.
For more information about checking the routing protocol process memory usage.
For more information, see the show system processes command and the show task
memory command.
I just deleted a large number of routes from the routing protocol process. Why is it still
using so much memory?
The show system processes extensive command displays a RES value measured in
kilobytes. This value represents the amount of program memory resident in the physical
302
Chapter 15: Routing Protocol Process Memory FAQs
memory. This is also known as RSS or Resident Set Size. The RES value includes shared
library pages used by the process. Any amount of memory freed by the process might
still be considered part of the RES value. Generally, the kernel delays the migrating of
memory out of the Inact queue into the Cache or Free list unless there is a memory
shortage. This can lead to large discrepancies between the values reported by the routing
protocol process and the kernel, even after the routing protocol process has freed a large
amount of memory.
Frequently Asked Questions: Interpreting Routing Protocol Process-Related Command Outputs

This section presents frequently asked questions and answers about the routing protocol
process-related Junos OS command-line interface (CLI) command outputs that are
used to display the memory usage of the routing protocol process.
How do I interpret memory numbers displayed in the show system processes extensive
command output?
The show system processes extensive command displays exhaustive system process
information about software processes that are running on the device and have controlling
terminals. This command is equivalent to the UNIX top command. However, the UNIX
top command shows real-time memory usage, with the memory values constantly
changing, while the show system processes extensive command provides a snapshot of
memory usage in a given moment.
To check overall CPU and memory usage, enter the show system processes extensive
command. Refer to Table 9 on page 304 for information about the show system processes
extensive commands output fields.

Table 9 on page 304 describes the output fields that represent the memory values for the
show system processes extensive command. Output fields are listed in the approximate
order in which they appear.
Table 9: show system processes extensive Output Fields

Field Name
Field Description
Mem
Information about physical and virtual memory allocation.
Active
Memory allocated and actively used by the program.
Inact
Memory allocated but not recently used or memory freed by the programs. Inactive memory remains
mapped in the address space of one or more processes and, therefore, counts toward the RSS value
of those processes.
Wired
Memory that is not eligible to be swapped, usually used for in-kernel memory structures and/or memory
physically locked by a process.
Cache
Memory that is not associated with any program and does not need to be swapped before being reused.
Buf
Size of memory buffer used to hold data recently called from the disk.
Free
Memory that is not associated with any programs. Memory freed by a process can become Inactive,
Cache, or Free, depending on the method used by the process to free the memory.
Swap
Information about swap memory.
TotalTotal memory available to be swapped to disk.
UsedMemory swapped to disk.
FreeMemory available for further swap.
The rest of the command output displays information about the memory usage of each
process. The SIZE field indicates the size of the virtual address space, and the RES field
indicates the amount of the program in physical memory, which is also known as RSS or
Resident Set Size. For more information, see the show system processes command.
What is the difference between Active and Inact memory that is displayed by the show
system processes extensive command?
304
When the system is under memory pressure, the pageout process reuses memory from
the free, cache, inact and, if necessary, active pages. When the pageout process runs, it
scans memory to see which pages are good candidates to be unmapped and freed up.
Thus, the distinction between Active and Inact memory is only used by the pageout
process to determine which pool of pages to free first at the time of a memory shortage.
The pageout process first scans the Inact list, and checks whether the pages on this list
have been accessed since the time they have been listed here. The pages that have been
accessed are moved from the Inact list to the Active list. On the other hand, pages that
have not been accessed become prime candidates to be freed by the pageout process.
If the pageout process cannot produce enough free pages from the Inact list, pages from
the Active list get freed up.
Because the pageout process runs only when the system is under memory pressure, the
pages on the Inact list remain untouched even if they have not been accessed recently
when the amount of Free memory is adequate.
How do I interpret memory numbers displayed in the show task memory command
output?
The show task memory command provides a comprehensive picture of the memory
utilization for routing protocol tasks on the Routing Engine. The routing protocol process
is the main task that uses Routing Engine memory.
To check routing process memory usage, enter the show task memory command. Refer
to Table 10 on page 305 for information about the show task memory command output
fields.

Table 10 on page 305 describes the output fields for the show task memory command.
Output fields are listed in the approximate order in which they appear.
Table 10: show task memory Output Fields

Field Name
Field Description
Memory Currently In Use
Memory currently in use. Dynamically allocated memory plus the DATA

segment memory in kilobytes.
Memory Maximum Ever Used
Maximum memory ever used.
Memory Available
Memory currently available.
The show task memory command does not display all the memory used by the routing
protocol process. This value does not account for the memory used for the TEXT and
STACK segments, or the memory used by the routing protocol processs internal memory
manager.
305
Why is the Currently In Use value less than the RES value?
The show task memory command displays a Currently In Use value measured in kilobytes.
This value represents the memory currently in use. It is the dynamically allocated memory
plus the DATA segment memory. The show system processes extensive command displays
a RES value measured in kilobytes. This value represents the amount of program memory
resident in the physical memory. This is also known as RSS or Resident Set Size.
The Currently In Use value does not account for all of the memory that the routing protocol
process uses. This value does not include the memory used for the TEXT and the STACK
segments, and a small percentage of memory used by the routing protocol processs
internal memory manager. Further, the RES value includes shared library pages used by
the routing protocol process.
Any amount of memory freed by the routing protocol process might still be considered
part of the RES value. Generally, the kernel delays the migrating of memory out of the
Inact queue into the Cache or Free list unless there is a memory shortage. This can lead
to large discrepancies between the Currently In Use value and the RES value.
Frequently Asked Questions: Routing Protocol Process Memory Swapping

This section presents frequently asked questions and answers related to the memory
swapping of the routing protocol process from the Routing Engine memory to the hard
disk memory.
How do I monitor swap activity?
When the system is under memory pressure, the pageout process reuses memory from
the free, cache, inact and, if necessary, active pages. You can monitor the swap activity
by viewing the syslog message reported by the kernel during periods of high pageout
activity.
The syslog message appears as follows:
Mar
3 20:08:02 olympic /kernel: High pageout rate!! 277 pages/sec.
You can use the vmstat -s command to print the statistics for the swapout activity. The
displayed statistics appear as follows:
0 swap pager pageouts
0 swap pager pages paged out
The swap pager pageouts is the number of pageout operations to the swap device, and
the swap pager pages paged out is the number of pages paged out to the swap device.
Why does the system start swapping when I try to dump core using the request system
core-dumps command?
The request system core-dumps command displays a list of system core files created
when the device has failed. This command can be useful for diagnostic purposes. Each
list item includes the file permissions, number of links, owner, group, size, modification
date, path, and filename. You can use the core-filename option and the core-file-info,
brief, and detail options to display more information about the specified core-dump files.
306
You can use the request system core-dumps command to perform a non-fatal core-dump
without aborting the routing protocol process. To do this, the routing protocol process
is forked, generating a second copy, and then aborted. This process can double the
memory consumed by the two copies of the routing protocol processes, pushing the
system into swap.
Why does the show system processes extensive command show that memory is swapped
to disk although there is plenty of free memory?
Memory can remain swapped out indefinitely if it is not accessed again. Therefore, the
show system processes extensive command shows that memory is swapped to disk even
though there is plenty of free memory, and such a situation is not unusual.
Frequently Asked Questions: Troubleshooting the Routing Protocol Process

This section presents frequently asked questions and answers related to a shortage of
memory and memory leakage by the routing protocol process.
What does the RPD_OS_MEMHIGH message mean?
The RPD_OS_MEMHIGH message is written into the system message file if the routing
protocol process is running out of memory. This message alerts you that the routing
protocol process is using the indicated amount and percentage of Routing Engine memory,
which is considered excessive. This message is generated either because the routing
protocol process is leaking memory or the use of system resources is excessive, perhaps
because routing filters are misconfigured or the configured network topology is very
complex.
When the memory utilization for the routing protocol process is using all available Routing
Engine DRAM memory (Routing Engines with maximum 2 GB DRAM) or reaches the limit
of 2 GB of memory (Routing Engines with 4 GB DRAM), a message of the following form
is written every minute in the syslog message file:
RPD_OS_MEMHIGH: Using 188830 KB of memory, 100 percent of available
This message includes the amount, in kilobytes and/or the percentage, of the available
memory in use.
This message should not appear under normal conditions, as any further memory
allocations usually require a portion of existing memory to be written to swap. As a
recommended solution, increase the amount of RAM in the Routing Engine. For more
information, go to http://kb.juniper.net/InfoCenter/index?page=content&id=KB14186 .
What can I do when there is a memory shortage even after a swap?
It is not recommended for the system to operate in this state, notwithstanding the
existence of swap. The protocols that run in the routing protocol process usually have a
real-time requirement that cannot reliably withstand the latency of being swapped to
hard disk. If the memory shortage has not resulted from a memory leak, then either a
reduction in the memory usage or an upgrade to a higher memory-capacity Routing
Engine is required.
How do I determine whether there is a memory leak in the routing protocol process?
307
Memory leaks are typically the result of a seemingly unbounded growth in the memory
usage of a process as reported by the show system processes extensive command.
There are two classes of memory leaks that the routing protocol process can experience.
The first class occurs when the allocated memory that is no longer in use is not freed.
This class of leak can usually be fixed by taking several samples of the show task
memory detail command over a period of time and comparing the deltas.
The second class occurs when there is a late access to freed memory. If the access is
not outside the mapped address space, the kernel backfills the accessed page with
real memory. This backfill is done without the knowledge of the routing protocol
processs internal memory allocator, which makes this class of leak much more difficult
to resolve. If a memory leak of this class is suspected, writing the state of the system
to a disk file (creating a core file) is suggested.
A large discrepancy between the RES value and the Currently In Use value might indicate
a memory leak. However, large discrepancies can also occur for legitimate reasons. For
example, the memory used for the TEXT and STACK segments or the memory used by
the routing protocol processs internal memory manager might not be displayed. Further,
the RES value includes shared library pages used by the process.
What is the task_timer?
The source of a routing protocol process memory leak can usually be identified by dumping
the timers for each task. You can use the show task task-name command to display
routing protocol tasks on the Routing Engine. Tasks can be baseline tasks performed
regardless of the devices configuration, and other tasks that depend on the device
configuration.
For more information, see the show task command.

Release Information
Description
clns-updown-compatibility;
isis],
Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 11.4R7.

When you enable IS-IS to exchange Connectionless Network Service (CLNS) routes,
Junos OS sets the reserved (R) bit in the default metric field inside type, length, and value
(TLV) type-3 (ES-Neighbor) as a marker for routing loop prevention. Junos OS uses the
up/down bit for marking prefixes on the Level 2-to-Level 1 boundary as being propagated
Down, such that any router in that area never propagates it Up on a Level 1-to-Level 2
boundary. For detailed information about how this works in IP routing environments, see
RFC 2966, Domain-wide Prefix Distribution with Two-Level IS-IS.
Some other vendors platforms might not support up/down bit setting in CLNS route
TLVs. If one of these vendors platforms receives this TLV with the R bit set, the platform
discards the information.
When you use the clns-updown-compatibility statement in the IS-IS configuration, the
R bit is set to 0, and the issue is resolved. The clns-updown-compatibility statement
causes Junos OS to use the Internal/External metric-type bit in the TLV header instead
of using the R bit as the up/down bit marker. This has the advantage that older end
system (ES) equipment does not receive TLV headers with the R bit set.
CAUTION: Not using the R bit can lead to potential routing loops. You can
use the site-of-origin (SoO) extended community to prevent a looped BGP
update from being injected back to IS-IS when received from a remote provider
edge (PE) device. The receiving PE device can check against the SoO
community, and if the value matches its own, the NLRI is not accepted.

isis],

Apply one or more policies to routes being exported from the routing table into IS-IS.
All routing protocols store the routes that they learn in the routing table. The routing table
uses this collected route information to determine the active routes to destinations. The
routing table then installs the active routes into its forwarding table and exports them
into the routing protocols. It is these exported routes that the protocols advertise.
For each protocol, you control which routes the protocol stores in the routing table and
which routes the routing table exports into the protocol from the routing table by defining
a routing policy for that protocol.
NOTE: For IS-IS, you cannot apply routing policies that affect how routes are
imported into the routing table; doing so with a link-state protocol can easily
lead to an inconsistent topology database.

hello-padding
Syntax
Hierarchy Level
Release Information
Description
hello-padding (adaptive | disable | loose | strict);


Configure padding on hello packets to accommodate asymmetrical maximum transfer
units (MTUs) from different hosts.
This helps to prevent a premature adjacency Up state when one routing devices MTU
does not meet the requirements to establish the adjacency.
As an OSI Layer 2 protocol, IS-IS does not support data fragmentation. Therefore,
maximum packet sizes must be established and supported between two routers. During
adjacency establishment, the IS-IS protocol makes sure that the link supports a packet
size of 1492 bytes by padding outgoing hello packets up to the maximum packet size of
1492 bytes.
This is the default behavior of the Junos OS IS-IS implementation. However, Junos OS
provides an option to disable hello padding that can override this behavior.
There are four types of hello padding:
342
Adaptive paddingOn point-to-point connections, the hello packets are padded from
the initial detection of a new neighbor until the neighbor verifies the adjacency as Up
in the adjacency state type, length, and value (TLV) tuple. If the neighbor does not
support the adjacency state TLV, then padding continues. On LAN connections, padding
starts from the initial detection of a new neighbor until there is at least one active
adjacency on the interface. Adaptive padding has more overhead than loose padding
and is able to detect MTU asymmetry from one side of the connection. This one-sided
detection can result in generation of extra link-state PDUs that are flooded throughout
the network. Specify the adaptive option to configure enough padding to establish an
adjacency to neighbors.
Disabled paddingPadding is disabled on all types of interfaces for all adjacency

states. Specify the disable option to accommodate interfaces that support less than
the default packet size of 1492 bytes.
Loose padding (the default)The hello packet is padded from the initial detection of
a new neighbor until the adjacency transitions to the Up state. Loose padding might
not be able to detect certain situations such as asymmetrical MTUs between the
routing devices. Specify the loose option to configure enough padding to initialize an
adjacency to neighbors.
Options
Strict paddingPadding is done on all interface types and for all adjacency states, and
is continuous. Strict padding has the most overhead. The advantage is that strict
padding detects MTU issues on both sides of a link. Specify the strict option to configure
padding to allow all adjacency states with neighbors.
adaptiveConfigure padding until the neighbor adjacency is established and active.

disableDisable padding on all types of interfaces for all adjacency states.
looseConfigure padding until the state of the adjacency is initialized.

a hello packet. If the neighbor does not receive another hello packet within the specified

The hold time specifies how long a neighbor should consider this routing device to be
operative without receiving another hello packet. If the neighbor does not receive a hello
packet from this routing device within the hold time, it marks the routing device as being
unavailable.
For systems configured with graceful routing switchover (GRES) with Graceful Restart,
the hold time for Master and Backup Routing Engines should be set to a value higher

To prevent a routing device from being able to reach interarea destinations, you can
prevent the routing device from installing the default route without affecting the status

Enable synchronization by advertising the maximum cost metric until LDP is operational

LDP distributes labels in non-traffic-engineered applications. Labels are distributed along

the label-switched path (LSP) goes down. Therefore, IS-IS and LDP synchronization is
beneficial. When LDP synchronization is configured and when LDP is not fully operational
on a given link (a session is not established and labels are not exchanged), IS-IS advertises
the link with the maximum cost metric. The link is not preferred but remains in the network

Specify how long a link-state PDU originating from the routing device should persist in
the network. The routing device sends link-state PDUs often enough so that the link-state
PDU lifetime never expires.
Because link-state PDUs have a maximum lifetime, they need to be refreshed. Refreshing
means that a routing device needs to re-originate its link-state PDUs periodically. The
re-origination interval must be less than the link-state PDUs lifetime. For example, if the
link-state PDU is valid for 1200 seconds, the routing device needs to refresh the link-state
PDU in less than 1200 seconds to avoid removal of the link-state PDU from the link-state
database by other routing devices. The recommended maximum link-state PDU origination
interval is the lifetime minus 300 seconds. So, in a default environment this would be
900 seconds. In Junos OS, the refresh interval is derived from the lifetime and is equal
to the lifetime minus 317 seconds. You can change the lifetime to a higher value to reduce
the number of refreshes in the network. (You would rarely want to increase the number
of refreshes.) Often theses periodic link-state PDU refreshes are referred to as refresh

[edit protocols isis interface interface-name]

Disable adjacency down notification for IS-IS to allow for migration from IS-IS to OSPF
without disruption of the RSVP neighbors and associated RSVP-signaled label-switched
paths (LSPs).
Whenever IS-IS is deactivated, the IS-IS adjacencies are brought down. IS-IS signals to
RSVP to bring down any RSVP neighbors associated with the IS-IS adjacencies, and this
further causes the associated LSPs signaled by RSVP to go down as well.
A similar process occurs whenever OSPF is deactivated. The OSPF neighbors are brought
down. OSPF signals to RSVP to bring down any of the RSVP neighbors associated with
the OSPF neighbors, and this further causes the associated LSPs signaled by RSVP to
go down as well.
If you need to migrate from IS-IS to OSPF or from OSPF to IS-IS, the internal gateway
protocol (IGP) notification to RSVP for an adjacency or neighbor down event needs to
be ignored. Using the no-adjacency-down-notification or no-neighbor-down-notification
statements, you can disable IS-IS adjacency down notification or OSPF neighbor down
notification, respectively, until the migration is complete. The network administrator is
responsible for configuring the statements before the migration, and then removing them

overload (Protocols IS-IS)

Syntax
Hierarchy Level
Release Information
Description
overload {
advertise-high-metrics;
allow-route-leaking;
timeout seconds;
}
isis],

Configure the local routing device so that it appears to be overloaded. This statement
causes the routing device to continue participating in IS-IS routing, but prevents it from
being used for transit traffic. Traffic destined to immediately attached subnets continues
to transit the routing device.
You can also advertise maximum link metrics in network layer reachability information
(NLRI) instead of setting the overload bit.
You configure or disable overload mode in IS-IS with or without a timeout. Without a
timeout, overload mode is set until it is explicitly deleted from the configuration. With a
timeout, overload mode is set if the time elapsed since the IS-IS instance started is less
than the specified timeout.
A timer is started for the difference between the timeout and the time elapsed since the
instance started. If the time elapsed after the IS-IS instance is enabled is less than the
specified timeout, overload mode is set. When the timer expires, overload mode is cleared.
In overload mode, the routing device IS-IS advertisements are originated with the overload
bit set. This causes the transit traffic to take paths around the routing device. However,
the overloaded routing devices own links are still accessible.
The value of the overload bit depends on these three scenarios:
1.
When the overload bit has already been set to a given value and the routing process
is restarted: Link-state PDUs are regenerated with the overload bit cleared.
2. When the overload bit is reset to a lesser value while the routing process is running:
Link-state PDUs are regenerated with the overload bit cleared.

3. When the overload bit is reset to a greater value while the routing process is running:
Link-state PDUs are regenerated with the overload bit set to the difference between
the old and new value.
389
In overload mode, the routing device advertisement is originated with all the transit routing
device links (except stub) set to a metric of 0xFFFF. The stub routing device links are
advertised with the actual cost of the interfaces corresponding to the stub. This causes
the transit traffic to avoid the overloaded routing device and take paths around the routing
device.
To understand the reason for setting the overload bit, consider that BGP converges slowly.
It is not very good at detecting that a neighbor is down because it has slow-paced
keepalive timers. Once the BGP neighbor is determined to be down, it can take up to 2
minutes for a BGP router to declare the neighbor down. IS-IS is much quicker. IS-IS only
takes 10-30 seconds to detect absent peers. It is the slowness of BGP, more precisely
the slowness of internal BGP (IBGP), that necessitates the use of the overload bit. IS-IS
and BGP routing are mutually dependent on each other. If both do not converge at the
same time, traffic is dropped without notification (black holed).
You might want to configure the routing device so that it appears to be overloaded when
you are restarting routing on the device. Setting the overload bit for a fixed amount of
time right after a restart of the routing protocol process (rpd) ensures that the router
does not receive transit traffic while the routing protocols (especially IBGP) are still
converging.
Setting the overload bit is useful when performing hardware or software maintenance
work on a routing device. After the maintenance work, clear the overload bit to carry on
forwarding transit traffic. Manual clearing of the overload bit is not always possible. What
is needed is an automated way of clearing the overload bit after some amount of time.
Most networks use a time value of 300 seconds. This 5-minute value provides a good
balance, allowing time to bring up even large internal IBGP meshes, while still relatively
quick.
Another appropriate application for setting for the overload bit is on dedicated devices
such as BGP route reflectors, which are intentionally not meant to carry any transit traffic.
In this case, you would not use the timer.
You can verify that the overload bit is set by running the show isis database command.
390
Options
advertise-high-metricsAdvertise maximum link metrics in NLRIs instead of setting the
overload bit.
The advertise-high-metric setting is only valid while the routing device is in overload mode.
When advertise-high-metric is configured, IS-IS does not set the overload bit. Rather,
it sets the metric to 63 or 16,777,214, depending whether wide metrics are enabled.
This allows the overloaded routing device to be used for transit as a last resort.
An L1-L2 router in overload mode stops leaking route information between L1 and L2
levels and clears its attached bit. This is also true when advertise-high-metrics is
configured.
allow-route-leakingEnable leaking of route information into the network even if the
overload bit is set.
NOTE: The allow-route-leaking option does not work if the routing device is
in dynamic overload mode. Dynamic overload can occur if the device has
exceeded its resource limits, such as the prefix limit.

Optimize routing based on bandwidth by setting the reference bandwidth used in

All IS-IS interfaces have a cost, which is a routing metric that is used in the IS-IS link-state
calculation. Routes with lower total path metrics are preferred over those with higher
path metrics. When there are several equal-cost routes to a destination, traffic is

The cost of a route is described by a single dimensionless metric that is determined using
the following formula:
cost = reference-bandwidth/bandwidth
For example, if you set the reference bandwidth to 1 Gbps (that is, reference-bandwidth
is set to 1,000,000,000), a 100-Mbps interface has a routing metric of 10.

The family statement and support for IPv6 routes for IS-IS traffic engineering shortcuts
introduced in Junos OS Release 9.3.
Configure IS-IS to use MPLS label-switched paths (LSPs) as next hops if possible when
installing routing information into the inet.3 or inet6.3 routing table. Internal gateway
protocol (IGP) shortcuts allow the IGP to install prefixes in inet.3 or inet6.3.
It is only necessary to enable IGP shortcuts on the ingress router because that is the router
performing the shortest-path-first (SPF) calculations.
It is important to understand how IGP shortcuts affect the protocol and routing table
relationship. The IGP performs SPF calculations to subnets downstream of LSP egress
points, but the results of these calculations are entered into the inet.3 table only. At the
same time, the IGP performs its traditional SPF calculations and enters the results of
these calculations into the inet.0 table. The result is that although the IGP is making
entries into the inet.3 table, BGP is still the only protocol with visibility into that table for
the purposes of route resolution. Therefore, forwarding to AS-internal destinations still
uses the inet.0 IGP routes, and the LSPs are only used for BGP next-hop resolution. If
you want the LSPs to be used for IGP next-hop resolution, you must configure
traffic-engineering bgp-igp.
The remaining statement is explained separately.

Release Information

Description
Configure options for running the shortest-path-first (SPF) algorithm.

Running the SPF algorithm is usually the beginning of a series of larger system-wide
events. For example, the SPF algorithm can lead to interior gateway protocol (IGP) prefix
changes, which then lead to BGP nexthop resolution changes. Consider what happens
if there are rapid link changes in the network. The local routing device can become
overwhelmed. This is why it sometimes makes sense to throttle the scheduling of the
SPF algorithm.
You can configure the following SPF options:
The delay in the time between the detection of a topology change and when the SPF
algorithm actually runs.
The maximum number of times that the SPF algorithm can run in succession before
the hold-down timer begins.
The time to hold down, or wait, before running another SPF calculation after the SPF
algorithm has run in succession the configured maximum number of times.
If the network stabilizes during the hold-down period and the SPF algorithm does not
need to run again, the system reverts to the configured values for the delay and rapid-runs
statements.
Options
delay millisecondsTime interval between the detection of a topology change and when
the SPF algorithm runs.

Range: 50 through 1000 milliseconds
holddown millisecondsTime interval to hold down, or wait before a subsequent SPF
algorithm runs after the SPF algorithm has run the configured maximum number of

Configure traffic engineering properties for IS-IS.
IS-IS always performs shortest-path-first (SPF) calculations to determine next hops.
For prefixes reachable through a particular next hop, IS-IS places that next hop for that
prefix in the inet.0 routing table. In addition, for routers running MPLS, IS-IS installs the
prefix for IPv4 routes in the inet.3 routing table as well. The inet.3 table, which is present
on the ingress router, contains the host address of each MPLS label-switched path (LSP)
egress router. BGP uses this routing table to resolve next-hop addresses.
If you enable IS-IS traffic engineering shortcuts and if there is a label-switched path to
a point along the path to that prefix, IS-IS installs the prefix in the inet.3 routing table
and uses the LSP as a next hop. The net result is that for BGP egress routers for which
there is no LSP, BGP automatically uses an LSP along the path to reach the egress router.
In Junos OS Release 9.3 and later, IS-IS traffic engineering shortcuts support IPv6 routes.
LSPs to be used for shortcuts continue to be signaled using IPv4. However, by default,
shortcut routes calculated through IPv6 routes are added to the inet6.3 routing table.
The default behavior is for only BGP to use LSPs in its calculations. If you configure MPLS
so that both BGP and interior gateway protocols use LSPs for forwarding traffic, shortcut
routes calculated through IPv6 are added to the inet6.0 routing table. IS-IS ensures that
the IPv6 routes running over the IPv4 MPLS LSP are correctly de-encapsulated at the
413
tunnel egress by pushing an extra IPv6 explicit null label between the IPv6 payload and
the IPv4 transport label.
RSVP LSPs with a higher preference than IS-IS routes are not considered during the
computation of traffic engineering shortcuts.
To configure IS-IS so that it uses LSPs as shortcuts when installing information in the
inet.3 or inet6.3 routing table, include the following statements:
family inet {
shortcuts {
}
}
family inet6 {
shortcuts;
}
For IPv4 traffic, include the inet statement. For IPv6 traffic, include the inet6 statement.
To configure load balancing across multiple LSPs, include the multipath statement.
When traffic engineering shortcuts are used, RSVP first looks at the metric2 value, which
is derived from the IGP cost. After this, RSVP considers the LSP metric value. So, if a
certain path changes for an LSP and the cost changes, not all LSPs are used to loadbalance the network.
When a route with an improved metric is added to the IS-IS internal routing table, IS-IS
flushes all next-hop information (including LSP next-hop information) for a route. This
is undesirable, because certain equal-cost multipath (ECMP) combinations can be lost
during route calculation. To override this default behavior for load balancing, include the
lsp-equal-cost statement to retain the equal cost path information in the routing table.
multipath {
lsp-equal-cost;
}
Because the inet.3 routing table is present only on ingress routers, you can configure LSP
shortcuts only on these routers.
Default
IS-IS traffic engineering support is enabled.

By default, IS-IS supports traffic engineering by exchanging basic information with the
traffic engineering database. To disable this support, and to disable IS-IS shortcuts if
they are configured, include the disable statement.
414
Options
credibility-protocol-preferenceSpecify that IS-IS should use the configured protocol
preference for IGP routes to determine the traffic engineering database credibility
value. By default, the traffic engineering database prefers IS-IS routes even when
the routes of another IGP are configured with a lower, that is, more preferred value.
Use this statement to override this default behavior.
The traffic engineering database assigns a credibility value to each IGP and prefers
the routes of the IGP with the highest credibility value. In Junos OS Release 9.4 and
later, you can configure IS-IS to take protocol preference into account to determine
the traffic engineering database credibility value. When protocol preference is used
to determine the credibility value, IS-IS routes are not automatically preferred by
the traffic engineering database, depending on your configuration. For example,
OSPF routes have a default preference value of 10, whereas IS-IS Level 1 routes have
a default preference value of 15. When protocol preference is enabled, the credibility
value is determined by deducting the protocol preference value from a base value
of 512. Using default protocol preference values, OSPF has a credibility value of 502,
whereas IS-IS has a credibility value of 497. Because the traffic engineering database
prefers IGP routes with the highest credibility value, OSPF routes are now preferred.
NOTE: This feature is also supported for OSPFv2.
lsp-equal-costConfigure LSPs to be retained as equal cost paths for load balancing
when a better path metric is found during the IS-IS internal routing table calculation.
When a route with an improved metric is added to the IS-IS internal routing table,
IS-IS flushes all next-hop information (including LSP next-hop information) for a
route. This is undesirable, because certain equal-cost multipath (ECMP) combinations
can be lost during route calculation. To override this default IS-IS behavior, include
the lsp-equal-cost statement for load balancing, so that the equal cost path
information is retained in the routing table.
multipathEnable load balancing for multiple LSPs.

Normally, IS-IS metrics can have values up to 63, and IS-IS generates two type, length,

allow IS-IS to support traffic engineering, a second pair of TLVs has been added to IS-IS,
one for IP prefixes and the second for IS-IS adjacency and traffic engineering information.
24
With these TLVs, IS-IS metrics can have values up to 16,777,215 (2 1).
To configure IS-IS to generate only the new pair of TLVs and thus to allow the wider

Description

<level>
Command introduced in Junos OS Release 15.1 for the MX Series and PTX Series.
Display holddown status and time when IS-IS adjacencies are being formed. Adjacency
holddown process takes place on an IS-IS level basis. When adjacency holdown is
enabled, IS-IS adjacencies are formed sequentially. There is a holddown time between
each adjacency and the process is completed when all IS-IS adjacencies are formed.
This holddown time might cause network instability.
This command is useful to verify whether the adjacency holddown is enabled and
facilitates troubleshooting when there are adjacency issues due to IS-IS adjacency
holddown .
Options

Hello padding
Type of hello padding:
extensive
AdaptiveOn point-to-point connections, the hello packets are padded from
the initial detection of a new neighbor until the neighbor verifies the adjacency
as Up in the adjacency state TLV. If the neighbor does not support the
adjacency state TLV, then padding continues. On LAN connections, padding
starts from the initial detection of a new neighbor until there is at least one
active adjacency on the interface.
Loose(Default) The hello packet is padded from the initial detection of a
new neighbor until the adjacency transitions to the Up state.
StrictPadding is performed on all interface types and for all adjacency
states, and is continuous.

LDP sync state
Current LDP synchronization state: in sync, in holddown, or not supported.

Field Name
Field Description
PDU type
PDU type:
CSNPComplete sequence number PDUs contain a complete list of all link-state PDUs in the IS-IS
database. CSNPs are sent periodically on all links, and the receiving systems use the information
in the CSNP to update and synchronize their link-state PDU databases. The designated router
multicasts CSNPs on broadcast links in place of sending explicit acknowledgments for each
link-state PDU.
IIHIS-IS hello packets are broadcast to discover the identity of neighboring IS-IS systems and to
determine whether the neighbors are Level 1 or Level 2 intermediate systems.
LSPLink-state PDUs contain information about the state of adjacencies to neighboring IS-IS
systems. Link-state PDUs are flooded periodically throughout an area.
PSNPPartial sequence number PDUs are sent multicast by a receiver when it detects that it is
missing a link-state PDU (when its link-state PDU database is out of date). The receiver sends a
PSNP to the system that transmitted the CSNP, effectively requesting that the missing link-state
PDU be transmitted. That routing device, in turn, forwards the missing link-state PDU to the
requesting routing device.
UnknownThe PDU type is unknown.
Received
Number of PDUs received since IS-IS started or since the statistics were set to zero.
Processed
Number of PDUs received less the number dropped.
Drops
Number of PDUs dropped.
Sent
Number of PDUs transmitted since IS-IS started or since the statistics were set to zero.
Rexmit
Number of PDUs retransmitted since IS-IS started or since the statistics were set to zero.
Total packets
received/sent
Total number of PDUs received and transmitted since IS-IS started or since the statistics were set to
zero.
SNP queue length
Number of CSPN and PSNP packets currently waiting in the queue for processing. This value is almost
always 0.
LSP queue length
Number of link-state PDUs waiting in the queue for processing. This value is almost always 0.
SPF runs
Number of shortest-path-first (SPF) calculations that have been performed. If this number is
incrementing rapidly, it indicates that the network is unstable.
Fragments rebuilt
Number of link-state PDU fragments that the local system has computed.
LSP regenerations
Number of link-state PDUs that have been regenerated. A link-state PDU is regenerated when it is
nearing the end of its lifetime and it has not changed.
Purges initiated
Number of purges that the system initiated. A purge is initiated if the software decides that a link-state
PDU must be removed from the network.

Table 29 on page 514 describes the output fields for the show route command. Output
Table 29: show route Output Fields

Field Name
Field Description
routing-table-name
Name of the routing table (for example, inet.0).
number destinations
Number of destinations for which there are routes in the routing table.
number routes
Number of routes in the routing table and total number of routes in the following states:
active (routes that are active).
holddown (routes that are in the pending state before being declared inactive). A holddown route
was once the active route and is no longer the active route. The route is in the holddown state
because a protocol still has interest in the route, meaning that the interest bit is set. A protocol
might have its interest bit set on the previously active route because the protocol is still advertising
the route. The route will be deleted after all protocols withdraw their advertisement of the route
and remove their interest bit. A persistent holddown state often means that the interested protocol
is not releasing its interest bit properly.
However, if you have configured advertisement of multiple routes (with the add-path or
advertise-inactive statement), the holddown bit is most likely set because BGP is advertising the
route as an active route. In this case, you can ignore the holddown state because nothing is wrong.
destination-prefix
hidden (routes that are not used because of a routing policy).
Route destination (for example:10.0.0.1/24). Sometimes the route information is presented in another
format, such as:
MPLS-label (for example, 80001).
interface-name (for example, ge-1/0/2).
neighbor-address:control-word-status:encapsulation type:vc-id :source (Layer 2 circuit only. For example,
10.1.1.195:NoCtrlWord:1:1:Local/96):
neighbor-addressAddress of the neighbor.
control-word-statusWhether the use of the control word has been negotiated for this virtual
circuit: NoCtrlWord or CtrlWord.
encapsulation typeType of encapsulation, represented by a number: (1) Frame Relay DLCI, (2)
ATM AAL5 VCC transport, (3) ATM transparent cell transport, (4) Ethernet, (5) VLAN Ethernet,
(6) HDLC, (7) PPP, (8) ATM VCC cell transport, (10) ATM VPC cell transport.
514
vc-idVirtual circuit identifier.
sourceSource of the advertisement: Local or Remote.
Table 29: show route Output Fields (continued)

Field Name
Field Description
[ protocol, preference ]
Protocol from which the route was learned and the preference value for the route.
+A plus sign indicates the active route, which is the route installed from the routing table into the
forwarding table.
- A hyphen indicates the last active route.
*An asterisk indicates that the route is both the active and the last active route. An asterisk before
a to line indicates the best subpath to the route.
In every routing metric except for the BGP LocalPref attribute, a lesser value is preferred. In order to
use common comparison routines, Junos OS stores the 1's complement of the LocalPref value in the
Preference2 field. For example, if the LocalPref value for Route 1 is 100, the Preference2 value is -101.
If the LocalPref value for Route 2 is 155, the Preference2 value is -156. Route 2 is preferred because it
has a higher LocalPref value and a lower Preference2 value.
weeks:days
hours:minutes:seconds
How long the route been known (for example, 2w4d 13:11:14, or 2 weeks, 4 days, 13 hours, 11 minutes,
and 14 seconds).
metric
Cost value of the indicated route. For routes within an AS, the cost is determined by the IGP and the
individual protocol metrics. For external routes, destinations, or routing domains, the cost is determined
by a preference value.
localpref
Local preference value included in the route.
from
Interface from which the route was received.
AS path
AS path through which the route was learned. The letters at the end of the AS path indicate the path
origin, providing an indication of the state of the route at the point at which the AS path originated:
IIGP.
EEGP.
?Incomplete; typically, the AS path was aggregated.
When AS path numbers are included in the route, the format is as follows:
[ ]Brackets enclose the local AS number associated with the AS path if more than one AS number
is configured on the routing device, or if AS path prepending is configured.
{ }Braces enclose AS sets, which are groups of AS numbers in which the order does not matter.
A set commonly results from route aggregation. The numbers in each AS set are displayed in
ascending order.
( )Parentheses enclose a confederation.
( [ ] )Parentheses and brackets enclose a confederation set.
NOTE: In Junos OS Release 10.3 and later, the AS path field displays an unrecognized attribute and
associated hexadecimal value if BGP receives attribute 128 (attribute set) and you have not configured
an independent domain in any routing instance.
515
Table 29: show route Output Fields (continued)

Field Name
Field Description
validation-state
(BGP-learned routes) Validation status of the route:
InvalidIndicates that the prefix is found, but either the corresponding AS received from the EBGP
peer is not the AS that appears in the database, or the prefix length in the BGP update message is
longer than the maximum length permitted in the database.
UnknownIndicates that the prefix is not among the prefixes or prefix ranges in the database.
UnverifiedIndicates that the origin of the prefix is not verified against the database. This is because
the database got populated and the validation is not called for in the BGP import policy, although
origin validation is enabled, or the origin validation is not enabled for the BGP peers.
to
ValidIndicates that the prefix and autonomous system pair are found in the database.
Next hop to the destination. An angle bracket (>) indicates that the route is the selected route.
If the destination is Discard, traffic is dropped.
via
Interface used to reach the next hop. If there is more than one interface available to the next hop, the
interface that is actually used is followed by the word Selected. This field can also contain the following
information:
WeightValue used to distinguish primary, secondary, and fast reroute backup routes. Weight
information is available when MPLS label-switched path (LSP) link protection, node-link protection,
or fast reroute is enabled, or when the standby state is enabled for secondary paths. A lower weight
value is preferred. Among routes with the same weight value, load balancing is possible.
BalanceBalance coefficient indicating how traffic of unequal cost is distributed among next hops
when a routing device is performing unequal-cost load balancing. This information is available
when you enable BGP multipath load balancing.
lsp-path-nameName of the LSP used to reach the next hop.
label-actionMPLS label and operation occurring at the next hop. The operation can be pop (where
a label is removed from the top of the stack), push (where another label is added to the label stack),
or swap (where a label is replaced by another label). For VPNs, expect to see multiple push
operations, corresponding to the inner and outer labels required for VPN routes (in the case of a
direct PE-to-PE connection, the VPN route would have the inner label push only).
Private unicast
(Enhanced subscriber management for MX Series routers) Indicates that an access-internal route is
managed by enhanced subscriber management. By contrast, access-internal routes not managed
by enhanced subscriber management are displayed with associated next-hop and media access
control (MAC) address information.

Advertised Label
Incoming label advertised by the LDP. When an IP packet enters a label-switched

path (LSP), the ingress router examines the packet and assigns it a label based
on its destination, placing the label in the packet's header. The label transforms
the packet from one that is forwarded based on its IP routing information to
one that is forwarded based on information associated with the label.
detail extensive
Label-Base, range
First label in a block of labels and label block size. A remote PE router uses this
first label when sending traffic toward the advertising PE router.
detail extensive
VPN Label
Virtual private network (VPN) label. Packets are sent between CE and PE routers
by advertising VPN labels. VPN labels transit over either an RSVP or an LDP
LSP tunnel.
detail extensive

10.1.1.195:NoCtrlWord:1:1:Local/96).
label stacking
(Next-to-the-last-hop routing device for MPLS only) Depth of the MPLS label stack, where the
label-popping operation is needed to remove one or more labels from the top of the stack. A pair of
routes is displayed, because the pop operation is performed only when the stack depth is two or more
labels.
S=0 route indicates that a packet with an incoming label stack depth of 2 or more exits this routing
device with one fewer label (the label-popping operation is performed).
[protocol, preference]
If there is no S= information, the route is a normal MPLS route, which has a stack depth of 1 (the
label-popping operation is not performed).
forwarding table.
Level
(IS-IS only). In IS-IS, a single AS can be divided into smaller groups called areas. Routing between
areas is organized hierarchically, allowing a domain to be administratively divided into smaller areas.
This organization is accomplished by configuring Level 1 and Level 2 intermediate systems. Level 1
systems route within an area. When the destination is outside an area, they route toward a Level 2
system. Level 2 intermediate systems route between areas and toward other ASs.
Route Distinguisher
IP subnet augmented with a 64-bit prefix.
PMSI
Provider multicast service interface (MVPN routing table).

Field Name
Field Description
FECs bound to route
Point-to-multipoint root address, multicast source address, and multicast group address when
multipoint LDP (M-LDP) inband signaling is configured.
Primary Upstream
When multipoint LDP with multicast-only fast reroute (MoFRR) is configured, the primary upstream
path. MoFRR transmits a multicast join message from a receiver toward a source on a primary path,
while also transmitting a secondary multicast join message from the receiver toward the source on
a backup path.
RPF Nexthops
When multipoint LDP with MoFRR is configured, the reverse-path forwarding (RPF) next-hop
information. Data packets are received from both the primary path and the secondary paths. The
redundant packets are discarded at topology merge points due to the RPF checks.
Label
Multiple MPLS labels are used to control MoFRR stream selection. Each label represents a separate
route, but each references the same interface list check. Only the primary label is forwarded while all
others are dropped. Multiple interfaces can receive packets using the same label.
weight
Value used to distinguish MoFRR primary and backup routes. A lower weight value is preferred. Among
routes with the same weight value, load balancing is possible.
VC Label
MPLS label assigned to the Layer 2 circuit virtual connection.
MTU
VLAN ID
VLAN identifier of the Layer 2 circuit.
Prefixes bound to route
Forwarding equivalent class (FEC) bound to this route. Applicable only to routes installed by LDP.

Broadcast (bcast)
Broadcast next hop.
Deny
Deny next hop.
Discard
Discard next hop.
Flood
Flood next hop. Consists of components called branches,

up to a maximum of 32 branches. Each flood next-hop
branch sends a copy of the traffic to the forwarding
interface. Used by point-to-multipoint RSVP,
point-to-multipoint LDP, point-to-multipoint CCC, and
multicast.

address that is remote. You are likely to see this next-hop
type for internal BGP (IBGP) routes when the BGP next
hop is a BGP neighbor that is not directly connected.
Interface
Used for a network address assigned to an interface. Unlike

the router next hop, the interface next hop does not
reference any specific node on the network.
Local (locl)
Local address on an interface. This next-hop type causes

packets with this destination address to be received locally.
Multicast (mcst)
Wire multicast next hop (limited to the LAN).
Multicast discard (mdsc)
Multicast discard.
Multicast group (mgrp)
Multicast group member.
Receive (recv)
Receive.
Reject (rjct)
Discard. An ICMP unreachable message was sent.
Resolve (rslv)
Resolving next hop.
Routed multicast (mcrt)
Regular multicast next hop.
Router
A specific node or set of nodes to which the routing device

forwards packets that match the route prefix.
To qualify as next-hop type router, the route must meet
the following criteria:
Must not be a direct or local subnet for the routing

device.
Must have a next hop that is directly connected to the

routing device.
Table
Routing table next hop.
Unicast (ucst)
Unicast.
Unilist (ulst)
List of unicast next hops. A packet sent to this next hop

goes to any next hop in the list.

Field Name
Field Description
Level
(IS-IS only). In IS-IS, a single autonomous system (AS) can be divided into smaller groups called
areas. Routing between areas is organized hierarchically, allowing a domain to be administratively
divided into smaller areas. This organization is accomplished by configuring Level 1 and Level 2
intermediate systems. Level 1 systems route within an area. When the destination is outside an area,
they route toward a Level 2 system. Level 2 intermediate systems route between areas and toward
other ASs.

Indirect next hops
When present, a list of nodes that are used to resolve the path to the next-hop destination, in the
order that they are resolved.
When BGP PIC Edge is enabled, the output lines that contain Indirect next hop: weight follow next
hops that the software can use to repair paths where a link failure occurs. The next-hop weight has
one of the following values:
0x1 indicates active next hops.
0x4000 indicates passive next hops.
State
State of the route (a route can be in more than one state). See the Output Field table in the show
route detail command.
Session ID
The BFD session ID number that represents the protection using MPLS fast reroute (FRR) and loop-free
alternate (LFA).
Weight
Weight for the backup path. If the weight of an indirect next hop is larger than zero, the weight value
is shown.

Description
Display the Routing Engine's forwarding table, including the network-layer prefixes and
their next hops. This command is used to help verify that the routing protocol process
has relayed the correction information to the forwarding table. The Routing Engine
constructs and maintains one or more routing tables. From the routing tables, the Routing
Engine derives a table of active routes, called the forwarding table.
NOTE: The Routing Engine copies the forwarding table to the Packet
Forwarding Engine, the part of the router that is responsible for forwarding
packets. To display the entries in the Packet Forwarding Engine's forwarding
table, use the show pfe route command.
Options
noneDisplay the routes in the forwarding tables. By default, the show route
forwarding-table command does not display information about private, or internal,
forwarding tables.

Route Type (Type)
How the route was placed into the forwarding table. When the detail keyword
is used, the route type might be abbreviated (as shown in parentheses):
All levels
cloned (clon)(TCP or multicast only) Cloned route.
destination (dest)Remote addresses directly reachable through an interface.
destination down (iddn)Destination route for which the interface is
unreachable.
interface cloned (ifcl)Cloned route for which the interface is unreachable.
route down (ifdn)Interface route for which the interface is unreachable.
ignore (ignr)Ignore this route.
interface (intf)Installed as a result of configuring an interface.
permanent (perm)Routes installed by the kernel when the routing table is
initialized.
userRoutes installed by the routing protocol process or as a result of the
configuration.
Route Reference
(RtRef)
Number of routes to reference.

(Type)
Next-hop type. When the detail keyword is used, the next-hop type might be
abbreviated (as indicated in parentheses):
detail extensive
broadcast (bcst)Broadcast.
denyDeny.
discard (dscd) Discard.
holdNext hop is waiting to be resolved into a unicast or multicast type.
indexed (idxd)Indexed next hop.
indirect (indr)Indirect next hop.
local (locl)Local address on an interface.
routed multicast (mcrt)Regular multicast next hop.
multicast (mcst)Wire multicast next hop (limited to the LAN).
multicast discard (mdsc)Multicast discard.
multicast group (mgrp)Multicast group member.
receive (recv)Receive.
reject (rjct)Discard. An ICMP unreachable message was sent.
resolve (rslv)Resolving the next hop.
unicast (ucst)Unicast.
unilist (ulst)List of unicast next hops. A packet sent to this next hop goes
to any next hop in the list.

Index
Software index of the next hop that is used to route the traffic for a given prefix.
detail extensive none
Route
interface-index
Logical interface index from which the route is learned. For example, for interface
routes, this is the logical interface index of the route itself. For static routes, this
field is zero. For routes learned through routing protocols, this is the logical
interface index from which the route is learned.
extensive
Reference (NhRef)
Number of routes that refer to this next hop.
Next-hop interface
(Netif)
Interface used to reach the next hop.
Weight
Value used to distinguish primary, secondary, and fast reroute backup routes.
Weight information is available when MPLS label-switched path (LSP) link
protection, node-link protection, or fast reroute is enabled, or when the standby
state is enabled for secondary paths. A lower weight value is preferred. Among
routes with the same weight value, load balancing is possible (see the Balance
field description).
extensive
Balance
Balance coefficient indicating how traffic of unequal cost is distributed among

next hops when a router is performing unequal-cost load balancing. This
information is available when you enable BGP multipath load balancing.
extensive
RPF interface
List of interfaces from which the prefix can be accepted. Reverse path forwarding
(RPF) information is displayed only when rpf-check is configured on the interface.

[ ]Brackets enclose the number that precedes the AS path. This number
represents the number of ASs present in the AS path, when calculated as

defined in RFC 4271. This value is used the AS-path merge process, as defined
in RFC 4893.
[ ]If more than one AS number is configured on the router, or if AS path
prepending is configured, brackets enclose the local AS number associated

with the AS path.
{ }Braces enclose AS sets, which are groups of AS numbers in which the
order does not matter. A set commonly results from route aggregation. The
numbers in each AS set are displayed in ascending order.
NOTE: In Junos OS Release 10.3 and later, the AS path field displays an
unrecognized attribute and associated hexadecimal value if BGP receives

S=0 route indicates that a packet with an incoming label stack depth of 2 or more exits this routing
device with one fewer label (the label-popping operation is performed).
forwarding table.
Level
(IS-IS only). In IS-IS, a single AS can be divided into smaller groups called areas. Routing between
areas is organized hierarchically, allowing a domain to be administratively divided into smaller areas.
This organization is accomplished by configuring Level 1 and Level 2 intermediate systems. Level 1
systems route within an area. When the destination is outside an area, they route toward a Level 2
system. Level 2 intermediate systems route between areas and toward other ASs.

Next-Hop Type
Description
Broadcast (bcast)
Broadcast next hop.
Deny
Deny next hop.
Discard
Discard next hop.
Flood
Flood next hop. Consists of components called branches,

up to a maximum of 32 branches. Each flood next-hop
branch sends a copy of the traffic to the forwarding
interface. Used by point-to-multipoint RSVP,
point-to-multipoint LDP, point-to-multipoint CCC, and
multicast.
Hold
Next hop is waiting to be resolved into a unicast or

multicast type.
Indexed (idxd)
Indexed next hop.
Table 41: Next-hop Types Output Field Values (continued)

Next-Hop Type
Description
Indirect (indr)
Used with applications that have a protocol next hop

address that is remote. You are likely to see this next-hop
type for internal BGP (IBGP) routes when the BGP next
hop is a BGP neighbor that is not directly connected.
Interface
Used for a network address assigned to an interface. Unlike

the router next hop, the interface next hop does not
reference any specific node on the network.
Local (locl)
Local address on an interface. This next-hop type causes

packets with this destination address to be received locally.
Multicast (mcst)
Wire multicast next hop (limited to the LAN).
Multicast discard (mdsc)
Multicast discard.
Multicast group (mgrp)
Multicast group member.
Receive (recv)
Receive.
Reject (rjct)
Discard. An ICMP unreachable message was sent.
Resolve (rslv)
Resolving next hop.
Routed multicast (mcrt)
Regular multicast next hop.
Router
A specific node or set of nodes to which the routing device

forwards packets that match the route prefix.
To qualify as next-hop type router, the route must meet
the following criteria:
Must not be a direct or local subnet for the routing

device.
Must have a next hop that is directly connected to the

routing device.
Table
Routing table next hop.
Unicast (ucst)
Unicast.
Unilist (ulst)
List of unicast next hops. A packet sent to this next hop

goes to any next hop in the list.
Table 33 on page 543 describes all possible values for the State output field. A route can
be in more than one state (for example, <Active NoReadvrt Int Ext>).

Starting in Junos OS Release 15.1, multicast routes on the locally originated type 7 customer
multicast routes are added exclusively by PIM. The functionality of the BGP-MVPN service
(which, internally, depends on contributions of state from both the MVPN and PIM protocol
components of Junos OS) remains unchanged. MVPN, however, no longer appears as
658
the originator of the locally advertised route. Routes advertised by remote PEs are, as
usual, always learned locally from their respective [BGP/...] protocol.

Release Information

Description
Display a high-level summary of the routes in the routing table.
NOTE: For BGP routes, the show route terse command displays the local
preference attribute and MED instead of the metric1 and metric2 values. This
is mostly due to historical reasons.
To display the metric1 and metric2 value of a BGP route, use the show route
extensive command.
Options
noneDisplay a high-level summary of the routes in the routing table.

Active route. An asterisk (*) indicates this is the active route.
Validation status of the route:
?Not evaluated. Indicates that the route was not learned through BGP.
IInvalid. Indicates that the prefix is found, but either the corresponding AS received from the EBGP
NUnknown. Indicates that the prefix is not among the prefixes or prefix ranges in the database.
VValid. Indicates that the prefix and autonomous system pair are found in the database.

Prf
Preference value of the route. In every routing metric except for the BGP LocalPref attribute, a lesser
value is preferred. In order to use common comparison routines, Junos OS stores the 1's complement
of the LocalPref value in the Preference2 field. For example, if the LocalPref value for Route 1 is 100,
the Preference2 value is -101. If the LocalPref value for Route 2 is 155, the Preference2 value is -156.
Route 2 is preferred because it has a higher LocalPref value and a lower Preference2 value.
Metric 1
First metric value in the route. For routes learned from BGP, this is the MED metric.
Metric 2
Second metric value in the route. For routes learned from BGP, this is the IGP metric.

The value can be:

For the active key, the State can be

have a future start time, the State is inactive.
Compare the State field to the Mode field.
Option
For IS-IS only, the option determines how

Junos OS encodes the message
authentication code in routing protocol
packets.
detail
The values can be:
basicBased on RFC 5304.
isis-enhancedBased on RFC 5310.
The default value is basic. When you

configure the isis-enhanced option, Junos OS
sends RFC 5310-encoded routing protocol
packets and accepts both RFC
5304-encoded and RFC 5310-encoded
routing protocol packets that are received
from other devices.
When you configure basic (or do not include
the options statement in the key
configuration) Junos OS sends and receives
RFC 5304-encoded routing protocols
packets, and drops 5310-encoded routing
protocol packets that are received from other
devices.
Because this setting is for IS-IS only, the TCP
and the BFD protocol ignore the encoding
option configured in the key.

send-receive
The mode of the key is based on the

configuration. Suppose you configure two
keys, one with a start-time of today and the
other with a start-time of next week. For both
keys, the Mode can be send-receive, send, or
receive, regardless of the configured
start-time. Compare the Mode field to the
State field.

test policy
Syntax
Release Information
Description
test policy policy-name prefix

Test a policy configuration to determine which prefixes match routes in the routing table.
NOTE: If you are using the test policy command on a logical system, you must
first set the CLI to the logical system context. For example, if you want to test
a routing policy that is configured on logical system R2, first run the set cli
logical-system R2 command.
Options
policy-nameName of a policy.
prefixDestination prefix to match.
Required Privilege
Level

Documentation

Output Fields
All prefixes in the default unicast routing table (inet.0) that match prefixes that are the
same as or longer than the specific prefix are processed by the from clause in the specified
policy. All prefixes accepted by the policy are displayed. The test policy command
evaluates a policy differently from the BGP import process. When testing a policy that
contains an interface match condition in the from clause, the test policy command uses
the match condition. In contrast, BGP does not use the interface match condition when
evaluating the policy against routes learned from internal BGP (IBGP) or external BGP
(EGBP) multihop peers.
